Out of curiosity , did you buy him from a known breeder ? Just curious about you saying that his Dad was a merle as well as possibly the Mom ? Your aware of the trouble there right ? He's very cute but breeding two merles is a HUGE no no . Hopefully that's not the case , makes me wonder though with the amount of white he has. The more white , the more concerns there are for future health issues , i.e blindness , deafness ..

I know the dad was for sure. I think the mom was too but she was a more solid colour. I didn't really have a good look at her.

I seen the mother again this weekend and she is a solid reddish/brown color. No worries.

Not really a known breeder. She just happened to have a litter between her two purebreds on her farm. She is a big breeder with everything else though (horses, etc.). Like every other puppy, you take the risk of defects. I'm sure he'll do just fine. I checked his sight and hearing and they both seem good thus far. Unfortunately, you can't test for long term so I guess we will see what the man upstairs has in store for 'em.
