We recently bought a Pitbull Terrier, and he has one blue eye and one brown eye. He was bought in a pet shop......couldn't resist those eyes!!........but anyway, people have been telling me this is a sign on mix breed. Does anyone know anything about this. He looks like a pit and is built like one, but is still only 3 months old and too young to REALLY tell.....so any information about this would be helpful...Thank you.

Thats not necasarily true. I know that with siberian huskies they are born with different colored eyes. Sometimes even one eye can have a division of two colorsmaybe half blue half brown and the other eye a different color. Making them have two maybe even three colors. One of the words they use is bi-eyed and it is nothing to do with inter-breeding.

It can happen, but is considered a major fault in the breed (as far as conformation goes). I'm curious, is the fur around the eye white? What color(s) is he?

I know that some Pit Bull breeders are using Catahoulas to try and get some color patterns and the popular blue color, Catahoulas can have any eye color or combination of colors. Goob gave me some links a while back and I didn't fully understand the issues, I don't know how they could be registered and since I don't have one I didn't look into it further...but you can't be too sure of anything you bought at a pet store. It would be great to see pictures if you have them. One can never see to many puppy pics!
