Since I have never bred a breed with merles, I'm not an expert on
this...but breeding merle to merle can result in deafness and other
things, or so I understand...many merles are bred to tricolours...
Because the Collie does have and accept, altho not allow, sable merles,
obviously somewhere along the way there have been sables bred to merles,
too... and sable merles are bred to regular sables all the
time.............
Sable merle collies are very hard for most people to spot, unless
the dog has a blue eye.......
Cardigan Corgis have explicit rules regarding colour....and the
allowable colors are somewhat different.
