Why is he disabled?

Share to bring awareness

Double Merles are dogs that possess two copies of the Merle gene, which leads to a lack of pigmentation and can result in serious health issues, such as blindness and deafness. One such example is Ghost, a Double Merle who despite his challenges, lives a fulfilled life. It's crucial to understand that not all Double Merles are as fortunate; many face significant difficulties. Education about genetic testing is essential to prevent unintentional breeding of Double Merles. By sharing information and raising awareness, we can help protect dogs like Ghost from the unfortunate outcomes associated with this genetic trait. Together, we can ensure a brighter future for all dogs.
