D Lloyd 2,790 Posted November 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 The double merle just means they carry a merle gene from both parents,if they are unhealthy it is down to chance ,possible to be deaf and have Under developed eyes. ,but not every time,but if one parent carried a lot of white the could be an ordinary merle that is pied pied is that jest black and white or like that one pup in my first puppy pics roy Quote Link to post

roybo 2,873 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Yes mate a white dog with patches or a fair bit of white but a black fawn or red dog can carry the genes for pied to make it confusing lol Quote Link to post
