Jeanie I do apologize. I may have started this but am sure there will be others who say I did not.. When I would inquire about a puppy I would ask if the puppy had white in the eyes. Well all dogs have a white portion but some are pigment and some are not as you say. So it because easier to ask if the eye was double pigments instead of trying to explain it every time. And after a while we all just started saying she has lovely double pigmented eyes with NO white. I guess if you wanted triple pigment it would mean the haw is also pigmented which is the decorations on the icing on the cake. I know you can not have it all but if the eyes are not right you lose so much of the expression. I hope you will forgive us for bringing in yet another term to describe the dogs. So I guess you want the dog to have the proper pigmented eye which is chocolate brown in color with the double pigment where the brown looks like it bleeds into the white and then the chocolate settles on the haws and forms a dark rim which make the eye look even bigger.
But I am afraid the term double pigmented is here to stay in the good ole USA. Also I would like to Congratulate all the countries on their efforts and wins at the Olympics this year. I truly enjoyed watching all that I could watch and saw some outstanding athletes. I was happy to see the Canadian skating team get their much deserved metal. And as always no competition goes with out its controversy. Cathy Gish Kim Kaslow wrote: > Hi Jeanie, > > I apologize if I did not use correct terminology for you.
