Do You Think This Aussie Is A Double Merle?

by Abby
(Tx)

I am looking to rescue an Aussie puppy and have been reading about double merling which is extremely upsetting. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on this pup.

Anyone think she’s double merled? Her eyes are a different color more green kind of. The mom is on the left and possibly the dad is on the right. Don’t know if the parents are ticked or roan or merled.

Thank you.

Merle

All I can say is possibly. She certainly is white enough! But though hard to tell, it looks more like she is pattern white with very heavy ticking. The mom doesn't look like a merle, but a pattern white black bi with heavy ticking (looks like a mix, not that it matters). Possible dad looks blue. Last pick she looks a bit wall eyed, but that could be the pic not her.

She is a good illustration of why pattern whites shouldn't be bred! It causes confusion—and a higher risk of deafness.
