[quote name='StarGaze']Are you sure the dam is a true tri? Not a spot of merle hidden anywhere? He looks to be a double merle, but that results from merle x merle. You can't get one from solid x merle. He could just be a 'mismark' though. He's a very handsome boy. I have a double merle Catahoula, he's deaf and has eye defects but is a wonderful boy. He 'listens' better than my hearing dogs, lol![/quote] I am 100 percent know that Kiarrah is a true black tri she carries the red tri gene.Chance is a pattern white.Chance was the only pup that had the white on is head there where 2 more blue merle 3 black tri and a red tri out of that litter. What is a Pattern White? Pattern White and Mismark Aussies are one and the same. Pattern White pups simply have more white than they should. They can be either merle or solid. They may have "too much" white trim, one side of their face (or both) may be white, or they may have color on their head, but very little anywhere else on their body. On rare occasions, they can even be completely white. Most often, they are born into litters where one parent is a merle and the other is a solid, but can occur in other litters as well. Sometimes it is possible to predict that there may be Pattern White pups in the litter (based on the amount of white on the parents), but it can also come as a complete surprise.

[quote name='FearedDogFan']I want Chance! I want Chance! How totally and amazingly gorgeous! I am so glad you shared the pic. Thanks! Oh man, I definitely want him! :lol:[/quote] Thanks.He is a very pretty boy.All the big time aussie breeders told me to put him done because of his white face but I could not do that just because he was not to breed standed.I got him neuter at 6 months old.He is a clown.when I tell him to smile his eyes get real little and he truns his ears in and then he shows me is nice big teeth. He is my number one watch dog but a big baby at the same time. I have his dam here she is a black try and I bred her to a blue merle stud.Chance was the only one that had the white face. :angel:
