(Incidentally, Huskies don't have
blue eyes because they carry the Merle
gene, but because they carry a different
gene which causes
blue eyes independently of
coat color.)
There is a known link between white
coat color,
blue eyes and deafness - but since the
coat and eye
color can be caused by different
genes it means that only some
blue eyed whites are deaf.

A dog with two variant copies of the MLPH
gene will have a
blue, charcoal, Isabella (lilac) or fawn
coat color depending on the other
coat color genes present in the individual.
