I haven't heard that term, but I have definitely seen chocolate tri beagles (with a dark brown saddle) that have lighter eyes than the standard tricolour beagles with the black saddle. Does Boone also have a pink nose rather than a black one? I think that often goes along with chocolate tri colouring.
Golden Eye Beagles?
Hi Everyone!
A few months ago, I was walking my lovely girl Boone when we stopped to speak with a neighbor. This particular neighbor, who is extremely friendly, loves to tell me about the beagle she had growing up - who she claims was also a golden eye beagle.
I asked her what this meant, and she said it refers to their eye-color (obviously) but also the coat - our Boone has more blonde and light brown than most tri-colors and has absolutely no black, but instead a darkish brown along the back.
So since then, of course, every time someone stops to talk to Boone and remark on how pretty she is, I always say she is a golden eye beagle.
Except - I just searched google for golden eye beagles, and nothing came back

Has anyone ever heard this phrase?

Does this count as a Golden Eye Beagle. Tucker is tri-colored (faded with age)., but his eyes are sort of gold colored.

She is definitely a chocolate tri as you mentioned Booker, and her nose I would say is more brown than pink, but is not black.
I've tried to add a picture of our girl with this post, hope it worked
Maybe all chocolate tri-color beagles have the golden eyes? Or maybe my neighbor just made that up?

I love the light golden eyes!! So pretty (handsome) 
LOL, I think they're pretty, too. I just say handsome to appease his masculinity (especially since the poor boy was just neutered ;-)I love the light golden eyes!! So pretty (handsome)
BTW, do any of you w/dogs with the light eyes notice their eyes seem to "disappear" in photos? LOL. I've noticed in many of our pics when the flash hits just right his eyes don't show up and look "empty" instead. Maybe b/c they don't contrast with the surrounding fur?
When I search Google images, a scottish deerhound comes up. Is that the dog?
Personally, no, I don't like the look of that dog :\
It's okay, but I wouldn't get one if I were getting any dog I could choose. There are very few dogs that I find just plain unattractive, this isn't the prettiest I can think of, but not the homliest either. If I had a deerhound I'd have to name it Scruffy, though, LOL, for obvious reasons
