Kalisi & Adora, Double Merle Shelties, and Friends River, Storm, Radar, Dansby,Bane with Angels Kappi, Kalisi, & Adora and friends spreading awareness about Double Merles and Specially-abled dogs.

Kalisi and Adora are double merle Shetland Sheepdogs (Shelties)

But what is a double merle? That is a good question. Many breeds come in the coat pattern called "merle". In dog genetics, a coat starts out solid and adding the merle gene into the mix added a beautiful marbled pattern to the coat. This pattern is desirable and being bred into more and more breeds. The AKC now recognizes merle as an

acceptable pattern in several breeds. The merle gene on it's own isn't of concern, but when two merle patterned dogs are bred together, puppies have a 25% chance of inheriting that merle gene twice. These dogs are referred to as "double merles" and they usually have a predominantly white coat. The lack of pigmentation in certain areas causes the hearing and sight to not develop properly. Double merles can have varying degrees of hearing and sight loss, ranging from none at all to complete deafness and no eyes. So why do people do it? Sometimes well intentioned breeders attempt to better their lines by breeding two exceptional dogs together and just disregard coat color. Sometimes it happens by accident. Most often it seems, it is done out of ignorance. That is why it has become our goal to educate the world on double merles. When I am out in public with Kalisi and Adora, most people we meet have never heard of double merles and have no idea there would be a risk in breeding two merles. Every "like", every share and every comment on Kalisi and Adora's page is one more step towards an end to merle to merle breeding. Thank you for reading.

🐾 **Meet Fisher: Your Sweet New Companion!** 🐾

Introducing Fisher, an adorable 4 pound, 3-month-old Sheltie who’s ready to fill your life with love and joy! This little heartthrob is a double merle, which made him both deaf and visually impaired (not blind). While this is a consequence of unfortunate breeding practices, it doesn’t stop him from living a fulfilling, happy life.

**Here’s what makes Fisher special:**

- **Sweet Nature**: Fisher is a true love bug who adores his humans. He thrives on affection and is sure to melt your heart with his gentle spirit.
- **Cuddly and Warm**: Although he’s a bit shy at first, Fisher warms up quickly and will soon be snuggling up to you for some quality cuddle time.
- **Safety First**: For Fisher’s safety, he will need a secure, visible fence. Due to his size, he should never be outside alone, but with a caring companion by his side, he’ll feel secure and loved.

**Adoption Information**:
- **Adoption Fee**: $200
- **Location**: Fisher is adoptable within 3 hours of Granbury, TX.

If you’re ready to give this sweet boy the forever home he deserves, you can find the adoption application at scftx.org/adopt.
