The merle coat


 In certain breeds of dog, there is a coat pattern known as ‘merle’. It is sometimes referred to as a color, but is in fact due to a gene that alters the way pigment appears in the dog’s coat. The merle coat pattern is popular because it is unusual and very unique, with each merle dog having a different coat pattern.
