As we know weimaraners have blue eyes in childhood, then the colour begins to fade, turns into amber in all shades and finally stabilizes at the age of 12 months. According to Australian and FCI standard weim's eyes are : "Amber colour, dark to pale, (...) Sky-blue in puppies." But: According to WCA standard they are "light amber, grey or blue-grey". According to UK standard: "Shades of amber or blue-grey" So, does it mean that adult weims eyes can be grey/blue-grey?
I would also want to know when your weims' eyes turned finally into amber. At what age?

Well, since you're in Poland, the standard that applies to you is the FCI one. I now of a LH in Holland that has two coloured eyes. One Amber, one blue. The blue dissapears quite quickly in pups and it turns from pale greenish/blueish to amber in a couple of months to a year. The eyes keep changing colour though. They become more and more amber the older the dog gets. This is my personal experience.

I know that I have to judge weims according the FCI standard, but my question is whether an adult weimaraner can have grey/blue-grey eyes at all. In other words - does WCA/UK standards (allowing grey/blue-grey) apply to adult weims or to weims in any age? Well, "FCI weimaraners" also have grey/greyish eyes in a moment while changing from blue to amber, don't they?

I was told anything less than amber is an immature eye and undesirable.
My pups eyes started changing very early and are now a nice amber and they are a year old now but they didn't have those beautiful blue eyes for long. Bonnies eyes have deepened in colour as she's gotten older and Kane our foster had the most amazing deep liquid gold eyes really stunning.
