She's a really beautiful blue! Happy Birthday girls! :cheers:

She is lovely :wub: (praise indeed from one who doesn't usually like blues). How common is it for them to have the darker eye colour, most blues seem to be dilute?

Good question- any chance my baby will have such stunning eyes?

I have seen some blue Danes with rather dark eyes. Dee Dee, mum of my new puppy also has dark eyes and the puppy looks as she may have brown eyes. I have to admit I prefer dark eye to the yellow.

Very beautiful :wub:

Bluebelle is  the most beautiful shade of  blue, although in this moment she is loosing her winter coat.  She is exactly the colour I used to strive for when breeding blue great Danes.

It is a very deep, rich blue. Is there any 'recipe' for this? When breeding blue ducks (different species and genes admittedly) you get better, richer blues from black/blue crosses, rather than blue/blue or blue/white (splash). Being homozygous for full black helps as well.
