The chances of getting merle pups from non-merle parents are extremely low, as the merle coat pattern is typically inherited as a specific genetic trait. If both parents are non-merle and do not carry the merle gene, none of their offspring will be merle. However, if one or both parents are carriers of the merle gene (even if they don't express the merle pattern), there is a possibility of producing merle pups. Genetic testing can help determine carrier status.

How do you create a blue merle pitbull?

First of all you need to have an american pitbull terrier that carries the merle gene, and there is no way of knowing if a pitbull carries the gene unless the merle pattern is displayed on it's coat or you have the blood line record, the reason is because the merle gene is receive. If you don't have the blood line record then you absolutely need one of the parents to be merle and it doesn't matter if it's a red, chocolate, or blue merle and the other parent needs to be blue and you will produce blue merles. Of course if you have a blue merle and a blue you will produce more blue merles but if you have a red or chocolate merle and a blue you will not produce as many blue merles. Typically a breeding pair that has one of the parents being merle will produce an average of about three merles per litter, that is what my females have produced out of breeding with my red merle male three to four merles per litter. Remember you can not breed two merles together because you will produce dogs with defects.


What happens when you breed two Double Merle dogs?

you get ALL double merle puppies! O no!! . If you breed a double merle to a regular merle you get 50percent regular merle pups and 50percent double merle pups. If you breed a double merle to a solid colored dog or non-merle you get 100 percent merle puppies:) these are just the facts! Hope it helped.
