Pink eye lids
|
|
| Butch's eye lids were pink also, the only black he has on his face is on his ears. They are slowly turning black so don't think it's a problem. Not for me at least. |
| MO had one pink eye and one black eye, I call the pink eye her "pig eye". On her it is not becoming, but after 12 years I think I'll keep her. Maybe in the show ring it would be a minor fault, but otherwise, it is fine. |
| Frankie is very pink on his face also. He doesn't seem to have sight problems. I love him just the same. Lisa and Frankie |
| Luna has one eye rimmed in black and one eye not. Its like she forgot to put eyeliner on that one eye. She's three now; so its not likely to change anytime soon! |
| Thanks so much everyone. I would not want to mis represent her to her new family so I just wated to get all of your opinions ) |
| In North America eye pigment is not part of the standard, only nose pigment. Many oes have only partial pigment around their eyes, some have none. Personally I think it's kind of ugly when they have none, but it's certainly not a health issue. |
Now I would have to disagree with the "kind of ugly" part.  Oscar has absolutely no pigment (or "eyeliner", as we called it on Quincy) around either eye and I think he is simply beeeyooootiful! Having said that, as a pup, with a partially pink nose, we used to call him our Little Piggy. Laurie and Oscar, Oink Oink |

Thanks Jaci! Oscar has his own piggy fan club.  (snort, snort)Laurie and Oscar, the Pink-Eyed Wonder |
| I talked with an AKC all breed judge who said she and other judges considered the pink liner to be a defect and would prefer a dog with all black liners. Has anyone else heard that to be true? |
| I read the OESCA Judge's Education Breed Study Guide a while back. I looked it up again and it says- Judging Eyes (Page 5) "...Pigmentation around the eye rims or lack of pigmentation should not be considered." She said "would prefer" and we all have personal preferences so they hopefully set that aside when judging if I've quoted the information accurately. |
| I would have no problem with a dog with pink eyelids although I would have a problem with a "breeder" who doesn't know the OES breed standard. |

| Jay, I forgot to include a link to that info. It's really a very interesting read- http://www.furcertain.com/oesca-je/OESC ... _Guide.pdf |
