Amie, This Merle discussion is going on on a few of my other boards...I am really curious...can you give me the reasons for the Merles to be banned? I have read about a higher possibility of deafness and blindness especially if crossed with the piebald gene which makes the possibilities much higher. I am really interested in learning about this so could you give me the reasons why? Hugs In Him, Deanna

I'm just hoping that you havent had alot of information about merle chi's. I highly suggest that people make up their own opinions, but there is a very good reason why, they should be banned.
