Dog Names Meaning Blue Eyes

Introduction

Ain't no companion like a blue-eyed merle, or at least that's what Robert Plant said back in the seventies. It is true, though; there is something especially striking about a pooch with a pair of sapphire eyes. Blue-eyed dogs have been capturing the hearts of humans for a long, long time, and they are still widely sought after to this day. If you happen to be the lucky owner of a pupper with blue peepers, you may be thinking of giving them a name that honors this amazing trait. Come on a journey with us as we dive deep into the names representing blue-eyed canines worldwide!

Blue-eyed canines dominated the big screens in the 2000s, with movies like "Snow Dogs" and "8 Below" becoming easy family favorites. Both of these films feature Huskies and Malamutes that have that incredible blue stare, and it's no surprise that kids all over became obsessed with these beautiful doggos.

Many of the sled dog breeds are prone to having blue eyes, or one blue-one black, although you might be shocked to learn these light eyes are not preferred by kennel clubs! We are absolutely crazy for them, although there are quite a few things you need to remember before you run out and buy a Husky pup for your household. These dogs were bred to work and run. They prefer cool temperatures, although they can do fine in warmer climates if they are always given a place to beat the heat at all times.

These pooches are infamous for knowing how to escape, and they will run into the wild no questions asked! So if you have your heart set on a sled dog type, first ask yourself if you are willing to get out for a good, long exercise session with your cute canine each and every day, and also ensure you have a truly secure yard before letting them off-leash.

In the Snow Dogs movie, the main doggy movie star is a pooch named DJ. He got the part because of his piercing, pale blue eyes, which contribute to his name in the film - Demon. At first, Demon is a thorn in the side of his musher, dentist-turned-dogsledder Cuba Gooding Jr. In the end, (Spoiler Alert) Demon comes to his master's aid and saves his life, proving to a dog hater that dogs are pretty much the best animal out there.

DJ, along with two other pooches from the film were actually used in the movie "8 Below." This story is based on true events where a sled dog trainer was forced to leave his team of 8 canines in the Antarctic due to horrible storms. He spent the next 6 months trying to raise funds to rescue his beloved fur-buddies, while the dogs fended for themselves in the harshest place on earth.

In the movie, the trainer returns to find 6 of his dogs still alive, although one is badly injured. It makes for a heart-warming story, but the true tail still has somewhat of a happy ending. The real accounts of 1958 were that upon returning a year later, two of the dogs were found alive (13 were not recovered). While the loss of 13 dogs is completely devastating, the fact that two dogs were there to greet their long-lost master is a heroic tale of survival that brings a tear to any dog lover.

Dog Name Meaning Blue Eyes Considerations

If you've just brought your little fur-baby home and notice they're looking back at you with beautiful blues, you may want to paws before jumping in and titling them after their lookers. Most dogs (and mammals, for that matter) are actually born with blue eyes. It takes a while for the eye pigment to form - up to four months sometimes! So, unless you got a good look at their genealogy, or your dog has vivid, light blue eyes from the get-go, those globes may turn amber to brown before 6 months hits.

If you're sure your wee pup has blue eyes, or you're adopting a woofer that is past infancy, you should be safe to go ahead and commemorate their piercing gaze. You're in luck if you're looking for a blue-themed name, as there are countless options to choose from!

From blue-eyed characters to shades of the hue itself, the English language is not short of monikers for those with aqua eyes. To that note, to customize your pooch's name, take a good look at those blues. Does your dog have pale blue eyes, or are they almost cobalt? Do you happen to own a pup with one brown, one blue eye? Or are your dog's eyes almost turquoise? By paying attention, you can give your pup a name that truly represents them.
