So I am Facebook friends with a Dane breeder page, a page where only responsible breeding can post. Now I know that Danes that are Merle or merlequins are NOT a product of bad breeding, but I am just curious why all the Danes I see lately are either Merle or merlequins when the parents are harlequin and mantle. Is this just a product of genetics? Well I suppose that is this stupid question, of course it is. I guess what I'm asking is if I want a full harlequin or full black or mantle what colors should I look for in the parents? Or does it matter, luck of the draw?
What I also find interesting is that usually Merle is American. I don't see many European. Unless the sample size I am looking at is just portraying that.
Thanks for any advice or opinions in advance!
