Do all dogs have a perfectly round iris? My dogs are odd...

My dog (she is a mix) clearly does not. I cannot seem to find anything online as to whether this is breed specific or not. I am not concerned anything is wrong with her, just curious why she has more like a capital D shaped eye and my other two have circles for eyes (irises).

Anyone wanna go examine their dogs now? lol

We joke a lot and call her a furby because it does look a little odd... but it part of her character :)

None of my dogs have/had that so I have no idea how common it is. Honestly I never even knew it was possible.

Do you know what causes that fawkese? Or if can potentially cause any problems or is a sign of other issues?

Okay, I was just wondering since I had never heard of that before and incase I do come across a dog with that perhaps in an adoption agency whether it would be something I needed to worry about. ;)

I have a pure bred Corgi named Yogi. He has the exact same shaped iris' as the picture I see here! He was born with juvenile cataracts but I do not know if the iris shape is related to that or not. Either way, his eye sight seemed to have gotten better but the shape has not changed.
