I am a Great Dane

I am a Great dane to all the effects

I need the same cares of my brothers

of the same little darlings and of the same love

I am a Great dane,

I am not sick and I am not wrong

i am only of different color.

I am not a genetic error

My mother cares for me as to my other brothers,

it doesn't do differences,

try not to even do her you!

What the Merlè are

( explanation drawn by the book "L'Alano " by Dott.sa Amelia Murante)

What is the genetic difference between an harlequin with a merlè was

still unknow. Also if was expressed various theories that punctually they

don't hold up when you compare with the reality

The fact was that although from generations the grey-harlequin was not

used in the breeding, is absolutely normal that pups of such mantle

born when at least one of his parents was harlequin.

The great dane it is the only breed who possessing the couple Mm has to

have the white fund and the black stains, while all the other breed

that possess in their patrimony
genetic the couple Mms have grey fund and black stains.

Therefore the arcane to be explained is not the birth of the grey coat

pups, that the standard eliminatory call "defect", on the contrary the

birth of the sought after mantle, that with white fund.

Although Merles danes who result to be a great dane in everything

and for all not eliminable effecting a different genetic selection,

it is not able, currently in our country, to have the pedigree.

In other countries, what Switzerland and Germany, can have the

pedigree ma cannot be inserted in reproduction and in the

exposures cannot take the excellent vote.

Waiting that also in Italy can be gotten a
official recognition for this color,
we invite all the people lovers of the breed to
to appreciate the Merles as perfect company great dane .
