Merle markings
by: Anonymous

You have some beautiful Merle pups there! Not unusual for an all Merle litter from a merle/tri breeding. Their coats will change and develop colour as they get older, absolutely. They all have colour around their eyes from what I can see, which is a breed standard. Except for the white pup, that one is odd. I know that all white pups in some other breeds carry certain health problems such as deafness. It would not be a good idea to sell that pup until it develops and grows enough to identify if there are any health issues. Sweet pups!
