I wouldn't like to comment, but please read up on littermate syndrome since you already have a young puppy. It doesn't just affect actual siblings, it can affect any two pups that are close in age.

 

Thank you I’ve already looked into that

 

As per the AKC a purebred Alaskan Malamute cannot have blue eyes. I suspect there is some Siberian or Alaskan husky mixed in there.

Even from birth as a temporary color or perhaps a blue hue ...did you see the eye color ?

 

Yes, I saw the photos. It is extremely unlikely the pup's eye color is going to change much, if at all, eye color is 'set' early on in a puppies life. I have seen young puppies with a blue 'haze' in their eyes, which clears up as they age, but this pup's iris appears to be blue, which is much different than the blue 'haze' in a young pup.
Could the eye color change? Maybe, a bit, but very doubtful!

Oh okay thanks !!

 

I wouldn’t be convinced that it was necessarily caused by the cross-breeding of a husky etc...... it could just be a “defect”. When the AKC says they “can’t have blue eyes” that’s regarding their eligibility (or instant disqualification) in terms of show dogs showing for breed conformity.

White dogs can have numerous “issues” and this is just one of them.

My Dogo Argentino, by breed standards, must have brown, almond-shaped eyes, but he was born with one blue, so despite being AKC registered, and from purebred show lineage, he isn’t and will never be a show dog (not that I was interested in that)

I did receive a $1,000 discount on him, vs one that did conform to breed standards from the same litter, so perhaps take that into consideration when you talk to the breeder.
