TriColor and Blue Merle Rough Collie Mix?

I am getting a Puppy in July, Father is TriColor and Mother is Blue Merle, the Breeder has Championship dogs. The thing is I want a TriColor Rough Collie, if she is mixing the two breeds the chances of me of getting a Pure TriColor are slim right? This is my first time, are there chances of getting a Pure TriColor in the Puppy Litter without the Blue Merle markings??





Thank's.

Sound's like she knows what she is doing. Two merle dogs should never be bred together. The merle gene is considered "semi-lethal" and will cause deafness, and sometimes blindness. The spots on a Dalmation are a type of merle, which is why so many are deaf. There should be several tri-colors in this litter, which will not "show" the merle color. They may carry the recessive merle gene, but the only way you would know that is to breed the dog, and see if you have merle pups.(I don't recomend this) There are many breeds that almost require a genetics degree to breed correctly, and collies are one! Danes and Aussies are also difficult. Chinese Crested need a knowledgable breeder, too. It sounds like this woman has done her homework, you can ask her why she is doing it this way, and she will probably tell you, she may, in fact, give you too much info!
