Therefore, in most breeds, we know it cannot have been present \u2018under the radar\u2019, as can be the case for some recessive variants. As a result, merle cannot suddenly \u2018emerge\u2019 in a breed after many years. This is why the Kennel Club is able to take this position in relation to merle as the situation is relatively straightforward, unlike in the vast majority of other colours.<\/em>\u201d\u00a0 Dr Tom Lewis, Genetics &amp; Research Manager UK Kennel Club<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\" style=\"--awb-content-alignment:center;--awb-text-color:var(--awb-color4);\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/frenchbulldogclubnsw.asn.au\/health-news\/problems-associated-with-merle-french-bulldogs\/\">More information read the 2013 Information from the UK Kennel Club<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-1 fusion_builder_column_1_3 1_3 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:33.333333333333%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:5.76%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:5.76%;--awb-width-medium:33.333333333333%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:5.76%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:5.76%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-image-element \" style=\"--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-1 hover-type-none\"><img data-dominant-color=\"9e9f90\" data-has-transparency=\"true\" style=\"--dominant-color: #9e9f90;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1325\" height=\"6319\" title=\"merle strip\" src=\"https:\/\/frenchbulldogclubnsw.asn.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/merle-strip.png\" alt class=\"img-responsive wp-image-2436 has-transparency\" srcset=\"https:\/\/frenchbulldogclubnsw.asn.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/merle-strip-200x954.png 200w, https:\/\/frenchbulldogclubnsw.asn.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/merle-strip-400x1908.png 400w, https:\/\/frenchbulldogclubnsw.asn.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/merle-strip-600x2861.png 600w, https:\/\/frenchbulldogclubnsw.asn.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/merle-strip-800x3815.png 800w, https:\/\/frenchbulldogclubnsw.asn.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/merle-strip-1200x5723.png 1200w, https:\/\/frenchbulldogclubnsw.asn.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/merle-strip.png 1325w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2434","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/frenchbulldogclubnsw.asn.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2434","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/frenchbulldogclubnsw.asn.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/frenchbulldogclubnsw.asn.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/frenchbulldogclubnsw.asn.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/frenchbulldogclubnsw.asn.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2434"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/frenchbulldogclubnsw.asn.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2434\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4374,"href":"https:\/\/frenchbulldogclubnsw.asn.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2434\/revisions\/4374"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/frenchbulldogclubnsw.asn.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2434"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
