A true albino has pink eyes.

Although absence of pigmentation in the iris, allowing the blood vessels to show through as pink or red, is often a condition of albinism, it is by no means a guarentee. Because there are different strains of the genetic defect that causes albinism, judging the condition acurately in animals is quite tricky. best thing is to get your vet to have a look, and maybe reccomend somehwere where a 'hair-buld' test (assessing pigment in a hair sample) can be done, which will determine once and for all if your pet truly is albino, or just has a very light pigment in its skin, fur, and eyes.

Andy is correct about the pink eyes. There are many complications with albinism, so please do have your dog checked by a vet.
