15 White Dogs With Blue Eyes

In this article you will know the answer to the query “15 White Dogs With Blue Eyes“.

We have good news and bad news for you if you want a dog breed with a solid white coat and blue eyes.

Your search for the perfect dog breed is over as there is only one breed that combines these two qualities.

Unfortunately you will not be able to find a Husky unless you were after one.

The coat of any other breed of dog that has blue eyes will be partly white.

I compiled my list based on breed standards established by the American Kennel Club (AKC). 

Google Images’ gallery of white dog breeds with blue eyes is far smaller than this list of white dog breeds with blue eyes. 

There is no doubt why blue eyes are so attractive to dogs because they are a thing of beauty…

However blue eyes can also cause blindness and deafness in the wrong breed of dog.

This is why there are so many regulations around dog breeds. 

Therefore I have divided my list of fourteen breeds of white dogs with blue eyes into three sections.

Breeds with blue eyes are only found in the first two sections. 

• Breeds of dogs where blue eyes are allowed with solid white coats
• Breeds of dogs with white coats and blue eyes
• Blue eyes are forbidden in dog breeds with a solid white coat

A. Dog breeds with solid white dogs where blue eyes are allowed

1. Siberian Husky

The Siberian Husky is your best option if you’re looking for a white dog not just for its beauty but also because it is one of the few dogs with blue eyes and a white coat. It is rare to find a pure white Siberian Huskie as most of these dogs have black silver or gray markings on their medium-length coats. 

First-time pet parents may find it a challenge to train a Siberian Husky as they are very energetic and not so easy to train. Males reach a height of 23 inches (58 cm) and weigh 35 to 60 lbs (15 to 27 kg) at full maturity.

2. Harlequin Great Dane

One could mistake a Harlequin Great Dane for a Dalmatian as both breeds have large black patches on a white coat.

AKC describes the white-based short shiny coat as harlequin; puppies with few black markings are possible.

A Great Dane can grow up to 31 inches (78 cm) in height and weigh up to 180 pounds (82 kg). Zeus who stood 111.8cm (44 in) at the shoulder set the breed record for this breed.

Although Great Danes are large dogs they are very affectionate towards their owners. Perhaps that is why the ‘gentle giant’ is so beloved.

3. Shetland Sheepdog

Just prior to the Merle Shetland with one blue eye the video will start!

Shelties originate in the Shetland Islands off the coast of Scotland and belong to the herding dog group. 

An undercoat of short warm hairs and an outer coat of long silky hairs with rough hairs are present on these dogs.

Sable bicolor (black and white) and tricolor (white black and tan) coats are available. A Shetland Sheepdog with a modified merle coat will usually have lighter colors and blue eyes.

In males the height can reach 16 inches (41 cm) and the weight can reach 24 pounds (11 kg). Some find shelties a bit too protective due to their herding instincts but they are very gentle and make excellent therapy dogs.

4. Old English Sheepdog

The Old English Sheepdog known for its shaggy coat is known as a mellow and gentle animal. Dogs with these markings are generally gray grizzled or blue.

An OES can sometimes be almost completely white although this is not the standard color of this breed as recognized by the American Kennel Club.

On the head and neck as well as the outer coat it is long and wavy.

This large breed measures 22 inches (55 cm) tall and weighs up to 100 pounds (45 kg) and although it has a distinctive bear-shuffle gait it still requires a great deal of exercise.

Due to their large coats OES is known for excessive drooling and heavy shedding.

5. Cardigan Welsh Corgi (merle) 

The short legs and sturdy bodies of these Welsh Corgis allow them to be easily recognized. Because they are low to the ground they can nip at the ankles of cattle without being hit. Their coats are medium-length and come in two colors: a combination of red brindle blue merle and black. The majority of dogs have white paws white markings on their heads and even a full white collar. Corgis rarely grow taller than 10 inches and weigh less than 38 pounds (17 kg) due to their short legs. Since Corgis tend to be a bit stubborn good training and early socialization are vital for them.

These dogs also known as Long-Haired Collie are very resilient and can be very vocal when they want to be heard.

Although the AKC and the CKC consider the smooth-coated Collie to be a variant of this breed these dogs are distinguished by their long rough coats. For most of the body except for the head which is usually tricolor Rough Collies can be sable and white blue merle tricolor (black base coat) and even white.

There are roughly 22 and 25-inch males (55.8 to 66 cm) in height and 44–75 lbs (20–34 kg) in weight.

A Border Collie has a smooth rough or semi-rough topcoat and a silky undercoat. This breed can be solid-colored (although this is rare) bicolored or tricolored the base color is black white blue merle red merle blue brindle or orange.

Collies weigh between 6 – 9 pounds (14 – 20 kg) and are as tall as 22 inches (56 cm). As one of the most intelligent breeds border collies require a lot of physical and mental stimulation. Their behavior will suffer when they become bored. 

10. Australian Shepherd

Australians are medium-sized sturdy and elegant. Their strong herding instinct makes them closely related to Border Collies.

The most common colors for Australian Shepherds are black red blue merle and red merle although most of these dogs have white collars and paws. Its not unusual to find an Aussie with curly hair but its not the norm. Australian Shepherds weigh 40-70 lbs (18-32 kg) at full maturity and stand up to 23 in (58 cm) tall. 

In addition to being excellent sports dogs and willing to play frisbee with you Australian Shepherds can be trained as service dogs search and rescue dogs or therapy dogs.

12. Samoyed

Dogs of this type have thick outer coats that appear white but are actually tipped with silver. Dogs have a coarse long outer coat but a soft fluffy undercoat that keeps them warm.
