What is Merle?

Merle is a genetic coat pattern that creates a beautiful marbled effect on a dog’s fur. It often comes with unique blue or partially blue eyes, adding to its striking appearance. While stunning, Merle genetics require careful breeding—two Merle parents should never be bred together, as this can lead to health issues.
