You said Siamese variation? Excuse me for linking to Yahoo Answers, but
the following link seems to have something of an answer, and it does
cite a "Scientific American" magazine source specifically:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080705193251AAgIs25
You can read the full dog-and-cat explanation there, but the point
relevant to red-eye is:
""Color dilute" dogs and cats, such as red Siberian huskies and blue
point Siamese cats, may have no tapetal pigment and may therefore
exhibit a red reflex just like human beings."
