Details
From OMIA (2021): "The three affected German Spitz puppies reported in Caduff et al. (2017) showed a light brown (hazel) coat colour and blue eyes. Pigmentation of the coat and eyes became slightly darker with age. The owner reported that the affected puppies used to squint in bright sunlight (photophobia) and had difficulties to perceive hand signals in bright sunlight. Photophobia and mild to moderate visual deficits are also common in human patients with oculocutaneous albinism type II."
