Merle or Confetti Schnauzers

The first Confetti Schnauzer was born in 2006, people became
immediately drawn to them as they are so uniquely colored.
Confetti Schnauzers were created to bring new colors to the
great breed of the Miniature Schnauzer. In doing so a Mini.
Australian Shepherd was chosen due to there beautiful Merle
color, great intelligence and similarities to the Miniature
Schnauzer.

Confetti or Merle Schnauzers are highly intelligent, very loyal
and loving.   They get along well with other pets and love to
travel with the family. Confetti Schnauzers are great for the
whole family no matter what age you are. They love children
and spend much of their time guarding them and their home.
They are tough, hardy and love to go on walks or just hang out in
the house.

The life span of a Confetti Schnauzer should be about 12-15
years with minimal health problems. They are great dogs for
people who have allergies, since they have little to no shedding.
The more generations of Miniature Schnauzer crossed in leads
to less shedding.

& under) Toy (7-11 lbs.) to Mini. (12-15 lbs.).

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.
