merle lurcher


Recommended Posts

i found the breeding i was after and the added bonus of there being merles in the litter as i have always liked the look,i would not have chosen my pup purely on her colour or patern so i guess i was just lucky,she is saluki grey collie grey broken coated from her dams side,hope you find what your looking for.

Why merle? It's a genetic fault and should be avoided...It doesn't often produce problems in single dose but it can do and in double dose is very bad news. If you're looking for a worker then colour should be the last of your priorities and merle should be the last choice of colour even if it does look pretty.

 

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merle_(coat_colour_in_dogs)

there is nothing wrong with merles in fact they have made great workers and should not be avoided i have bred 2 litters of them and every pup turned out to be dead on in the feild

 

There's no reason why a merle can't be as good a dog as any other but there are risks involved and why take them? Because they look pretty? If you've got a fantastic dog that's merle then by all means breed but be aware of the potential problems. To go out and look for a merle makes no sense to me.

 

BTW Clover I'm aware it's not a colour...you know what I meant.

 

Sorry Jammo1, I know you didn't ask that but it's important to know. If you are going to select a dog for colour (which I wouldn't advise) then merle is probably the worst choice.

thanks i will take it onboard.what cross do you suggest

A good link dealing with double merle breeding

 

DOUBLE MERLE

 

And as for the original question a nice 3/4 greyhound 1/4 collie or a line bred collie lurcher should suit what you want regardless of the colour but of you want a rough you may be better looking fo somthing containing either some beardie, beddy or deerhound in it`s make up as well as border , after all colour and coat type is down to personal taste :thumbs:
