Breeding Merle to anything but Tri causes fatal genes. Dead pups or serious
deformities every time.
Also, in corgis, tri colors can be one of two ways. Tri color with tan
points, or tri color with brindle points. While it is safe to breed a merle to
a
tri with brindle points, it is not advisable to breed a merle to a brindle. If
you breed a merle to a merle, you're actually kicked out of the CWCCA.
That's how serious an offense it is.
You CAN get Merles from a Tri to Brindle breeding, or even brindle x brindle.
Rare, but it happens. Some friends of mine with Corgis bred their brindle
girl to a brindle boy, and there was a possibility of blues. She whelped in
early march. No blues, but two brindles and two blacks (that may change to
brindle yet :D!)

This is again fascinating- what does happen when a merle Cardigan Corgi is
bred to any other color other than a tri? And do you get just get tris and
merles doing the approved color combination? Thanks, Dorothy
