If you read our critiques written by many different judges you will find many of them call the eyes either double or fully pigmented. For my 26 years in this breed I have heard them called both things--double and/or fully pigmented. All I've done is copy what the judges have said and/or written. It made sense to me because the iris is pigmented and if the whites of the eyes are pigmented too then it could be considered double pigmented. Or because the whole visible eye is pigmented it could be considered fully pigmented. So I never questioned it. What is the correct terminology?
