My Rottweiler puppy has blue eyes. Will they change or is it a health issue?

I recently went to see a rottweiler puppy that is 6 weeks old. I noticed that the puppy had blue eyes even though both parent (purebred rottweilers) had brown-dark brown eyes. I know that blue eyes are not part of the CKC or AKA rottweiler standard. Should I be concerned about the health of this puppy or is it natural for puppies to have eye colour changes throughout their development?

Many puppies have lighter colored eyes that will change as they age. It's likely his eyes will change as well. Blue eyes can occur through random mutations so there is a possibility the eyes will remain blue but that would be uncommon. I hope this helps.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! How cute! Just like human babies all puppies and kittens have blue eyes. Some breeds will have blue eyes. Based on the pictured puppy's color pattern it is very possible that this puppy with have blue eyes or two different colored eyes. It would be helpful to know the breed, husky's and Australian Shepherds can have blue eyes. Only time will tell though! I hope this helps! Have a great day!
