Default Anybody know about Australian Cattle Dogs?
I've been wondering. Is the blue ticked coloring in Australian Cattle Dogs caused by the merle gene?

I ask because lately, where I live, Australian Shepherd/Australian Cattle dog crosses are becoming very popular with the ranchers and I have noticed that a number of them are coming out with excessive white and are deaf and/or blind, like you might get with a merle on merle breeding in purebred Aussies.

I hadn't given this much thought before since the Cattle Dog color is expressed so different, if it is merle.
