Subject: Merelikins, Swerles, and Pie Balds ????

What in the world are those? Just three of many color patterns that can appear in breeds with merle and brindle genes. Some breeds do not allow mating dog with merle to a female with brindle, or solid blacks and blues to tan trims ,or fawns to any of above.Reason being,each mating compounds the factors. genetic modifiers can have either positive or negitive, and to various degrees. I'm sure many have seen a white deer with spots, Pie bald, or mulatto? A "Merlikin", or properly, a Merlequin, has genes from both merle and Harliquin. "Swerles" are merle and brindle with modified color gene, often called a "Camo". Very few of these are seen in our present day Leopards but I asure you they can evenyually get there. I've old photos of Plott Curs manys years back, showing them.Seen it in Julys. Great Danes had them real bad and then prohibited crossing different patterns. The July breeders bred for ability only and this crazy patterns persisted. Catahoulas have this..Five genetic modifiers that produce white, other than outside influence. Me thinks we know very, very little about the color "Leopard" ! There are some informing articles on this subject, I've studied them, only to conclude it was way over my head,,,.Color is only ONE of fourteen traits in a treedog. Rex
