Guest crobinc840 Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 They have to have some border in there Jeff....Beardies don't carry the merle gene They do but it's harder to tell they are merle because of the long coat. http://www.spanglefish.com/BrambledaleBeardedCollies/index.asp?pageid=108372 Quote Link to post
Neal 1,857 Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 In the nineties, Plummer wrote an article about how many generations it would take after adding the merle gene via border collies before the resultant beardie/border crosses could be classed as pure beardies. Lo and behold, a year or so later, he claimed to have proof that pure beardies could carry the merle gene...and expected none of us to question it. Quote Link to post

Guest crobinc840 Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 If you look on wikipedia under collie you can see that all collie breeds are capable of the merle gene. I don't see why he would breed Border Collies to Beardies just to get a certain colour when they already exist. I guess it's because they are hard to come across. Pretty dog Jack looks like it has some brains, hope it does good for you. Quote Link to post
