gnipper 6,307 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 You can only get a merle coloured animal,. from a Merle... Brindle Merles sometimes have a kind of hazy look about their colouration,.but,. if you take a real close look, you will note that some of the patches contain a brindle stripe.. IT is difficult to see, ..but the Merle factor is definitely there... Some Merle's not obvious Merle's,...in fact, a dog from Merle parents only needs one or two spots on his coat to be a Merle . Dogs that are not Merle in colour, but which are out of a Merle parent (or god forbid, TWO Merle parents )..will NOT be carrying the Merle factor....I've bred several, different coloured Merle's over the years, and also hybridised them, with Red Speckled lurchers,.. As all hunting men know,.'colour means nowt'....but, it is an interesting subject.... All the best, Chalkwarren... now a man in the "know" as spoken maybe people will understand Sorry to go even further off subject but what happens if you cross two merles? It can go tits up same as breeding 2 silver ferrets together. I was browsing one of the selling sites a while back and there was some peddler wanting a merle dog to line their merle bitch with, colour was their only concern so I hope they end up with a nest of monstrosities they have to deal with.
