Breeds with mismatched eyes?

I have seen dachshunds with mismatched eyes, and they are not a breed people would think of. Cartman has two brown eyes, but half of one of them is blue.

Sibergi's are known to have odd eyes.

He's so handsome! A couple of questions...could a blue eyed Beagle be shown? And is it a fault they could be docked points for? And would you ever breed a blue eyed Beagle (assuming, of course, that all the rest of him is in standard)?

Valentino is 3/4 shih tzu & 1/4 poodle & has mismatched eyes. Both parents have brown eyes, only one out of the litter to have a blue eye.

in humans and dogs alike eye color is detirmined by the production of melanin. melanin is produced by special cells called 'melanocytes'. within these cells are 'organelles' that actually make the melanin. What determines color is not how many of these organelles are present, but rather their activity levels. the presence of the gene, (for example OCA2) would create blue or brown eyes=its presence (or whicever gene happens to be present in the body)would then, 'tell' the cells in the iris to make melanin. however, when something goes wrong, (trauma, perhaps), and an iris does not get the 'signal' to produce melanin, the result is two different colored eyes. so yeah, it seems some breeds are predisposed to this, but actually any dog from any breed (humans as well) can have this occur.

Wouldn't that mean his eyes are 1/4 blue? LOL
