| There is nothing cute when people start messing with genetics of animals you end up with careless breeders and lots of blind, deaf and heart problems...this isn't just about cute as a button ya know? Its whats behind those beautiful faces that matters.....

This is SO true. Where's our resident genetics guy? I'm certain he'd set all of you straight that are thinking "cute".

BANNED! | Guess you didn't read what the OP said,.... No controversy please !!!!! And who are you to ask me why I'm here, do you own this website? I was talking to the OP, not you, so I would appreciate if you mind your own business. If Picasso seen things in just one color, he would have painted just one picture. My hat is off to anyone that dares to charter unknown waters, just to make it easier for others to follow. http://merleyorkshire.webnode.cz/ |

And just because you've never produced blind, deaf animals doesn't mean its not a PROVEN fact that Merle to Merle breeding is bad news. And it's a public forum. If you want to address your response to just one person, send them a private message. Otherwise it is her business. Along with mine and anyone else who wants to comment or ask questions. Have a nice day.

Thanks Michelle...you said what I was thinking in a lot nicer way. Public forum.... Every one has the right to say what they want. I also think it is sick to breed dog with the risk of defects such as blindness etc, And because this is a two year old thread and I have never heard of Merle yorkies I am guessing they did not become popular !

About the health problems, even single Merles (one copy of the Merle gene) are more susceptible to deafness and blindness than normal dogs, and a double Merle (two copies of the Merle gene) is asking for trouble. | |

| I'm here. Merles are beautiful, but they do have increased risks of health problems (blindness and deafness) and Merle "Yorkies" are NOT Yorkshire Terriers, they are crossbred dogs. What really ticks me off, though, is the idea that people might be trying to trick the MARS test by crossing color genes from other breeds into Yorkies for more than 3 generations and thinking somehow that it must be okay. There is no better way to spell u-n-s-c-r-u-p-u-l-o-u-s. |
