In this quick overview, you'll find out what the truth about Siberian Husky coat and eye color is, which may make choosing a Siberian Husky an easier task for you.
Coat Colors Of The Siberian Husky
Many people are under the impression that Siberian Huskies are either black and white or gray and white; often, these people will assume that a dog of any other color is either not a Siberian Husky or not a purebred Siberian Husky.
The truth is that Siberian Huskies can be of almost any color ranging from white to black. And within those colors, a number of patterns can emerge. Some of the common colors and patterns found in Siberian Huskies include
White, gray, black, red, and brown in various shades and combinations
White-the appearance of a full white coat; genetically, these dogs are another color which is "covered up" by the white gene
Saddleback-on the back (the saddle area) these dogs have black-tipped hairs; on the shoulders, haunches and head, these dogs may be white or red, which gives them an almost shepherd-look
Sable-Sable Siberians have a reddish or brown color throughout and have black noses
Light Red Siberians are a pale red, orange, or yellow with a white belly
Agouti refers to Siberians with a banded coat similar to a wild dog or some shepherds Copper colored Siberians are of a darker red or brown color with a white belly
Silver and white Siberian Huskies have a gray undercoat with a white overcoat
Grey Siberians have yellow undercoats topped by grey or beige overcoats
Wolf Grey dogs are gray with red in and above/behind the ears and atop the hocks
In addition, Siberian Huskies may be nearly all black with just a white stripe through the chest and belly. Other pattern variations include piebald and splash coat.
Eye Colors Of Siberian Huskies

Blue
Brown
One eye of each color (one blue, one brown)
