To learn a more in depth review of Merle Pit Bulls, their place in the breeds history and to better understand the misinformation about them and how to deal with it if you choose to own them feel free to visit our Merle Info section. No one forces anyone to own one nor should they feel they have the place to take this right from anyone else. So red Merle, blue Merle, my Merle, your Merle it is up to you to decide if the Merle Pit Bull is right for you. At the American Pit Bull Registry ( APBR ) we love all Pits and will strive to insure the legacy of all lines are represented and preserved in history. They either think the Merle Pit Bull is the most beautiful and unique of Pit Bulls or the ugliest.
So most people will either fall on the side of love or on the side of disgust. While understanding the line is important when considering breeding when done so in a proper and responsible manner there has been no proven increase in any health related issues that are beyond that of any other line. Some popular myths that surround the Merle lines are that they are not pure, they are not standard and they have health issues. While many will lie and say that the Pit Bull is not pure to the breed it has been historically documented as such and examples have been shown to have been owned by many of the most well known individuals in the breeds history including John Colby who helped establish the very first breed standard. We take serious this standard and feel there is no ambiguity with the term "ANY". The truth about Merles is they were included in the first original written standard on the American Pit Bull Terrier which states: "Any color, solid, parti, or patched is permissible". It is true that it is hard to get accurate information on Merle Pit Bulls and the majority of what is said is done by a select few bias individuals who wish to eliminate Merle lines through the use of lies and manipulation. Misinformation and ignorance perpetuate much of this controversy. The Merle Pit Bull has undeniably been the most controversial lines in recent history with the next closest being blue and the & tan lines. It is true that it is hard to get accurate information on Merle Pit Bulls and the majority of what is said is done by a select few bias individuals who wish to eliminate merle lines through the use of lies and manipulation. The truth is, is that it genetically represents itself in many different ways and can remain hidden for multiple generations. Much speculation has been made about its genetic basis such as it being a dominant gene but such speculation has proven to be wrong. While it is know to be genetically related a specific test has yet to be developed to accurately test for it.
Merle is a genetic trait that effects all colors and patterns.
