Four-eyed dogs are not really a breed, but are dogs with a special appearance or characteristics. Usually, the so-called "four-eyed dog" actually refers to a dog with two eyes of different colors. This phenomenon is called heterochromia, in which one eye may be blue or light-colored while the other eye may be brown, amber, or another color.


Heterochromia can occur in many dog breeds, including Australian Shepherds, Huskies, Corgis, and more.


It is important to note that heterochromatic eyes do not indicate the breed or degree of purebredness of the dog, it is just a visible characteristic.
