Is the Merle Am Cocker
Spaniel
A valid color/pattern?
Has it been around for many generations
or was it "introduced" by possibly another breed?
Was it a just a mutation that just happened?
NEW!
Read a letter that we received about merle
cockers in the 1950's
This site's purpose is for informed education
regarding the Merle
Cocker Spaniel.
Merles are here to stay but
many are being registered
thanks to certain colors
not being allowable through the
parent club
in alarming frequency
as ROANS..which
they are not.
This site will help you to determine the difference
between a roan and a merle,
as well as other infomation
regarding the merle
and what needs to be done
about getting this pattern recognized
by ASC and AKC.
It's up to YOU
to decide the rest
