"Odd eye" is pretty rare, period. Keep a close watch on it and
don't hesitate to step in and suppliment feed if you need to, if
you want to try to raise this one.
Are you sure on this one that it has two eyes? The pink one
might be a missing eye...
What is your genotype for this pup? Is it possible for it to
come up either dark or red eyed? If that is the case then it
might very well be odd eyed. If not, there is either a mutation
or a missing eye.
Keep us posted on this little one, please, or at least me, as
I am very interested in this fellow (gal).
