Question
I have a 2 yr.old mini doxie, hes great, And he also has the most beautiful green and I mean green eyes, is this rare and will he be able to go to the show

Answer
It means he is probably a lighter color like a chocolate?  The eye color is not rare but not common unless it is a lighter color coat, then the eyes can be hazel/green or in the case of dapple, blue too.  AKC standards say the darker the eye color the better so he will not make a good show dog since he does not fit dachshund standards.  He sounds very nice.  Give him lots of love and have him neutered so he can live a long and happy life!
