Re: blue merle rott???is this real???

For the record - Australia follows the FCI Rottweiler standard (from what I could find - the various clubs all list the FCI standard).

Quote:
Colour:

Black with clearly defined markings of a rich tan on the cheeks, muzzle, throat, chest and legs, as well as over both eyes and under the base of the tail.
What it looks like has happened is that they had a mix that was of Rottie type, with a disqualifing coat colour. Rather than admit that it's a mix, they tried to 'rename' it with something funky, to make it sound exotic rather than what it really is - a mix that isn't worth any dollar value at all.

I'm sure he's a lovely puppy. But he's no "Rottweiler". He's a mix. No more, no less.
