we got our sheltie at a mennonite farm, they had about 11 different breeds of dogs living in a horse barn, all the moms were walking free around the farm with their boobys draggin. I know you should not buy these dogs, if I could have I would have bought or taken them all, I had a hard time leaving any behind, the double merle in video was a rescue but they are not good dogs to breed. the man in video is kind, and loving, he knew she would have problems and rescued her anyways.
my oldest sheltie, suzi, loves coffee to, so every morning i let her have some, i hold the cup and count to 10, when i say 10, she stops drinking ( reguardless of the order i count)
@veenassa it is not a case of the dog not being a pure breed, the double merle gene causes serious fault in the pups the reason you don't see so many of them is because most die at a very early age, they are lucky the dog is still ok they can have renal problems and alsorts of other complications, pretty yes healthy !! NO !!!
here is what bad breeding practices look like. Her face does not even look like a purebred collie/ sheltie should look. NO ONE should EVER breed two merles EVER. You'll end up with blind, deaf and miserable litter. "DOUBLE-MERLE"- no such thing.
@tati31251 I think Snowy is absolutely precious and the people who owned her before her death were precious for adopting a little double merl sheltie. They did NOT breed her, just welcomed her into their home with all the love that she deserved...
they are a genetic problem and people shouldn't buy them... they are the result of irresponsible breeders that have no clue what they are doing or they are actually stupid enough to breed them on purpose
I think you mean people shouldn't breed them, but they should definately buy them. You want to leave them with their idiot breeders to take care of or left alone in a shelter?
Double Merles are produced by two merles. I wouldn't try to breed one though, because many times they are blind, deaf, and can have internal problems.
Looks like my shelties, they jump onto the table and eat when we leave the room for too long with food on the table. One even ate my homework once (it was while he was teething).
I posted a video response with a video I just did of a sheltie adopted thru our organization. He was picked up by animal control after being found out in the cornfields. His family just adores him. They say that he follows them around, and is so loving. The vets say he has been blind since birth, retinal degeneration I think it was.
Adopting a dog is a wonderful thing, adopting a special needs dog is 10 times better!
omg you dont have to be nasty or anything i was just saying diddent u mean a daschshund?. just trying to make my point of view thats all. call the breed whatever you like i dont care!. sorry
I was making a comment you commented on my comment so that is That .What do you think YT is all about the comments .I Did not want it to sound NASTY..SORRY SORRY now don't be mean have a great day:)
sorry i wont be making any videos because i dont have a recording fingy so im just adding videos to my favouites and putting comments on different videos im hopping to get 1 tho soon but i dont no when thanks for the comment :)
What a beautiful Sheltie. I've never seen one like that before. I had a blue merle with no brown.. they call that something but I can't remember what.
What is a double merle? To this dangerously informed person, he looks like a "white" Sheltie who has blue merle points - much as most "white" Collies always have a standard sable or black face, etc.
A double merle is the results of bad breeding practices, what can happen when you breed a merle to a merle. She is deaf, partially blind, mute, has a club foot, and other issues. But it doesn't slow her down! We found her at a rescue on petfinder.
Also known as a double dilute. Exactly like the owner said it is the potential outcome of a merle to merle breeding. Responsible breeders of both collies and shelties will only breed a merle to a tri. A sable bred to a merle can produce a sable-merle which is not ideal. The poor double dilute dogs typically have so many health issues. Most are blind, deaf or both!
Cute! My little merle aussie boy always wants my latte's too...we always let him lick out the cup (gross, huh?! but he loves it!). Of course he gets very little actual caffeine (bad for their hearts...).
The dogs deafness is due to genetics. The merle gene that causes lightening of the fur coat is dominant. When a dog gets two of these merle genes (termed homozygous merle)it often causes defects in hearing as well as sight.
sooooooooooooooooo cute :)
