Do pitbulls usually have blue eyes?
Can A Pit Bull Have Blue Eyes? – Yes, pit bull breed dogs can have blue eyes, but usually only as puppies. Some may keep those baby blues into adulthood, but that is rare. Just like people are born with blue eyes, but they darken, the same applies to dogs.
- Color, like everything, is determined by the genetic makeup and developed by the amount of melanin production in your dog.
- Melanin is a natural skin pigment that determines how light or dark your skin, hair and eyes are.
- Less melanin production leads to lighter blue eyes, pale skin or blonde hair.
- A complete lack of pigmentation is called Albinism.
In dogs, this low production of melanin can cause a white coat, blue eyes or a pink nose. Melanin production only starts a few weeks after birth and slowly increases with age. That’s why most puppies are born with bright blue eyes and a lighter coat. 
The coat color oftentimes influences the eye, nail and nose color. My Rottweiler, for example, has so much melanin in her fur that blue eyes would be nearly impossible.
