Red Tri With Dual Blue Eyes

Hi, I have a medium red tri puppy that is 5 weeks. At this time both of his eyes are blue. Is this unusual? I have raised Aussies for several years and this is the first red tri with blue eyes I have had. His mom is a black tri and his dad is a blue merle with one blue eye and one brown. This is the second litter out of these two dogs and we have had 8 merles and 5 tri's. 7 of the merles have both blue eyes and the other merle has real light hazel eyes. I am trying to find out if the blue eyes make this puppy something special or if this is an ordinary occurrence. My Aussies are standard size and AKC registered.
