The Merle Pattern is a gene not just a color. It is not normally found in the Chihuahua breed in my opinion. With that in mind you will never see a merle patterned dog on my website. In my opinion the pattern is only being promoted by breeders who wish to profit off of their animals. It is my opinion that responsible show breeders would never do such a thing. There are just too many health issues related to this gene. If you would like more information on this Chihuahua situation you can follow the links provided. Each of these will open a new window for you so that you can stay here at ELC's Chihuahua and still view the information you are seeking. Thank you for visiting with us.
