Merle Gene

Merle is a dilution gene, it lightens whatever the color coat would
have been. The lightening is not spread evenly over the coat, but
leaves patches of undiluted color scattered over the dog's body.
Merle gives a mottled or uneven speckled effect. Most breeds with
Merle coats also typically have white markings (such as around the
neck, under the belly, and on the legs), the white is separate from the
Merle.

In addition to altering the base coat color, Merle also modifies eye
color and the coloring on the nose and paw pads. The Merle gene can
modify the dark pigment in the eyes, changing dark eyes to blue or
part of the eye to blue. You can also have a solid colored dog with
blue eyes (who is by a Merle) who has no other Merle markings, the
blue eyes are it's Merle marker. In none of these cases will the dogs
vision be affected. Color on the nose and paw pads may be mottled
pink and black.

Spotted or Leopard: Spotted is a Merle who has a lot of dark big
spots on the dog. Leopard is a dog with a lot of small dark spots on
them. You can also have a dog with both markings. These 2 terms
work with all colors of Merles.
