MERLES
THE PUPS ARE 3 DAYS OLD. THERE IS ONE BLUE MERLE, ONE SABLE
MERLE, AND ONE PUP OF SO MANY DIFFERENT COLORS WE ARE AT A
LOSE WHAT COLOR TO CALL HIM. HE IS PARTI, WITH 8 DIFFERENT
SHADES OF BROWN PATCHES  ON HIS HEAD AND BACK. THE FIRST
THOUGHT WAS OF COARSE PATCHES, SO FROM DAY ONE, THAT IS
WHAT HE IS CALLED. THE MAIN QUESTIONS ARE WHAT COLOR WILL HE
END UP, AND CAN I OBTAIN ONE OF THESE BUNDLE OF COLOR.
JIGSAW HAS STARTED HIS
BREEDING CAREER. HIS 1st
PUPS ARE DUE IN THE
MIDDLE OF OCTOBER. HE IS
BRED TO A GORGEOUS
LAVENDER PARTI GIRL. ALL
PUPS WILL BE PARTI, SOME
PARTI MERLE, AND WITH A
LITTLE LUCK. MAYBE A
CHOCOLATE MERL PARTI.
JIGSAW'S BROTHER IS
PRODUCING CHOLOATE, SO
WE ARE HOPING THAT
JIGSAW ALSO PICKED UP
THE CHOCOLATE GENE
FROM HIS DAD.


AT 3 WEEKS I KNEW ONE OF THESE COLORFUL
BUNDLES WAS COMING HOME WITH ME, BUT
WHICH ONE.
FROM THE MOMENT I FIRST SAW THESE COLORFUL BUNDLES, I
WAS INTRIGED. WATCHING THEM GROW AND CHANGE HAS
BEEN FANCINATING.
ROBINS WEE BEARS IS VERY HAPPY TO INTRODUCE
ROBEARS PUZZLED MERLE COLOR
CALL NAME:  JIGSAW
AT 5 WEEKS THEY ARE LOOKING LIKE LITTLE POMS. AS
THEY GROW THE COLOR IS LESS INTENSE, AND THE
SHARP LINES ON THE PATCHES BLUR. THE SABLE MERLE
IS TURNING MORE ORANGE
AT 6 WEEKS THE COAT IS EVEN LONGER. THE MERLING IS EVEN MORE
BLURRED. THE PUPS EYES ARE BROWN, WITH PATCHES HAVING A SMALL
SPECK IN THE BOTTOM OF ONE EYE.
HOME
AT 5 MONTHS JIGSAW IS IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS UGLIES. HE HAS LOST ALMOST ALL OF THE
SABLING. THE ONLY SABLING LEFT IS ON HIS HEAD AND TAIL. THE INTERESTING THING IS
THE DIFFERENT SHADES OF CREAM AND ORANGE ON HIS BODY. HE IS IRISH MARKED
PARTI. HIS FRONT LEGS ARE WHITE, HE HAS A BIG WHITE COLLAR, BUT THE WHITE ON HIS
BACK LEGS STOP AT THE FIRST JOINT. THE LIGHTER AREAS ON HIS BELLY AND HIND LEG
ARE ACTUALLY CREAM. HIS COLOR ON THE TOP OF HIS BACK IS RED. THEN AS YOU MOVE
DOWN THE COLOR CHANGES TO ORANGE OF SEVERAL SHADES, AND ENDS UP BEING
CREAM WITH ORANGE SPOTS IN IT. IF ANYONE OUT THERE HAS A SIMILAR COLORED DOG, I
WOULD BE VERY  INTERESTED IN HEARING FROM YOU.
