It seems beanie 2 and 3 produced far better dogs than themselfs......

[delboy_187 904]

so yous have got one of them leopard dogs? Or the dog yous have is an Import? We had a merle staff nit its gran sire was half collie, looked spit of yours

no don't own one mate that's how the colour came about in the pitts.years of breading sure there sites purely for merel pitts. They can't be ikc or akc cause not pure breed only merel mastiff aloud to reg is the great dane. As i said i don't own him mate does.del Edited July 29, 2015 by delboy_187

A few lines of APBT carry the merle gene, whether from crosses to Catahoula's or collie types in the early days of the breed. Breeders just cull them as a matter of course because it's a "fault" with the breed. I've even known so called working bulldog breeders cull merle pups at birth because they didn't want it getting out that their line carried merle...

 

If delboy's mate wants to breed some pretty merle pets I say crack on, nothing wrong with breeding pet dogs for colour/looks, IMO

Unusual colour if he does what he wants I wouldn't worry about the colour a lot of famous lines of bulls of all colours that are proper rubbish.

I've heard first hand from dogmen in America of the odd merle popping up in some litters never heard of one being allowed to grow on though. If it didn't pop up from time to time in APBT lines why would they bother to explicitly ban the colour in the standard? It pops up in some lines but it's undesirable because it shows a link to the general purpose farm bulldogs used as backcrosses in the early days of the breed. It doesn't make dogs expressing the merle gene any less pure though, just an out of standard colour.

 

Of course this is all irrelevant because delboy himself said his mates dog is a crossbred bulldog type dog not pure APBT

Maybe I've been on a different wave length all these years BUT isn't breeding for colour and looks the main reason so many breeds have been ruined ??????

It only a modern thing ,,that colour has been added ,,no APBT can come that colour ,,,its banned because any dog that has it is not a pure bred APBT ,,,

APBTs have and contiue to come in merle though, and from tight old lines nothing "modern" about them. Been popping up in the odd litter since the 1900s...
