I forgot to mention that puppies' haws and sclera/conjunctiva may not start
to pigment until they are 6-8 weeks old.  But sometimes you can tell that
they are going to be pigmented because you can see little blood vessels
forming in the sclera/conjunctiva.

Some breeds specifically mention the desirability of haw pigmentation in
their standard.  (Portugese Water Dog:  "Haws are dark and not apparent".
English Cocker:  "Haws are inconspicuous; may be pigmented or unpigmented")
Japanese Chin, on the other hand, are supposed to have visible white sclera,
to give them a "startled" look.  (low on my list of priorities)

I also forgot to mention that the haw is made of a fold of conjunctiva.
