Not sure who you have been talking too but green/blue eyes are a serious fault in basset hound as such it would do poorly in the conformation ring That would be say my basset has short ears I not sure how common it is for basset to have short ears but I have been told I should show our baset because of this unique feature. Uniqueness is the bane of the show ring.

The eyes are soft, sad, and slightly sunken, showing a prominent haw, and in color are brown, dark brown preferred. A somewhat lighter-colored eye conforming to the general coloring of the dog is acceptable but not desirable. Very light or protruding eyes are faults.
