Merle Chow Chow – Everything You Need To Know

Merle Chow Chows are Chow Chow dogs with a merle coat pattern. They are no different from other Chow Chows except for the coat color and are rare. Chow Chows originated from China and are considered all-purpose dogs. They are powerful, aristocratic, friendly, adaptable, loyal, delightful, and protective. They are independent and can adapt to apartments and individual homes with yards. 

Merle Chow Chows get their coat pattern due to the merle gene. The merle coat results from the gene pool, giving them a unique yet lovable appearance. Merle coat is the result of the recessive gene and is the rarest color variation of the breed. Unfortunately, Merle Chow Chow is not recognized by AKC. However, you enjoy cuddling and playing with this little Oreo, who makes a perfect furry partner.

Merle Chow Chow Personality

Merle Chow Chows are medium-sized dogs that grow up to 17-20 inches and weigh about 40-70 pounds. Merle Chow Chows are double coated and come with a merle patterned coat due to the merle gene. In addition, they are color-modified Chow Chows with the merle gene called M-gene. For example, a standard  Chow Chow will have the gene pair “mm,” while a merle Chow Chow with patches and irregular patterns will carry an “Mm” gene pair. The M gene is the cause of the lighter shade due to the partial dilution of the dark pigment. In this case, “m” produces the standard color and “M” is the dominant gene. In simple words, the black coat color comes with irregular dark to light-colored patches with one or both eyes, often in blue. Merle Chow Chows  are often both with different colored eyes, a condition known as heterochromia.

The Chow Chow coats are of two types – smooth and rough. The rough coat is thick and dense, while the smooth coat is soft, dense, and wooly. Merle Chow Chows have compact bodies with high-set tails, are muscular, deep-chested, and make excellent working dogs. 

Merle Chow Chow’s head is large and broad with a flat skull. The eyes are dark brown and almond-shaped, with a dignified expression. The ears are small and triangular, slightly rounded at the tip. Their tongues are blue like the normal Chow Chows. Hence, merle Chow Chows are little clouds of dignified beauty combined with elegance and lordliness.

Merle Chow Chow Grooming

Merle Chow Chow are heavy shedders with rough and smooth coats demanding high grooming needs. They need regular brushing, 3-4 times per week. The hair at his paws has to be trimmed to avoid the floor getting dirty. They are not easy to groom, and you can brush the coat more than once a week to prevent shedding. Wipe the wrinkles and folds on the skin with a clean cloth to remove dirt. They may need extra brushing during their shedding season. Brushing helps remove matted hair and pull out the loose fur during shedding. One of the essential parts of grooming is bathing which keeps the dog clean. However, frequent bathing causes dry skin and itches. Bath your dog using pH-balanced shampoos; pet wipes keep his coat fresh, clean, and shiny. You can also bathe them once a week. However, daily brushing helps to keep the fur from knots and tangles.

Merle Chow Chow Health

Merle Chow Chows are generally healthy dogs. Still, like any other dog breed, they are also prone to specific health conditions.

Health Overview

General healthLow to medium
Weight gain tendenciesMedium to high
SizeMini

Fading Puppy Syndrome 

This condition affects a few Merle Chow Chow puppies within the first two weeks of their lives. Lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, and high-pitched crying are the first indicators. 

Hookworms and Roundworms 

Hookworms and roundworms frequently target Merle Chows because they cannot handle a parasite load. When larvae enter a Chow Chow’s skin, they are affected by hookworms. Roundworms gain entry into pets when they swallow polluted soil, plants, etc. 

Heart Issues 

Merle Chows are frequently created from the litter’s runt. This indicates they didn’t obtain enough nutrition from their mother’s womb, resulting in cardiac problems after birth. Patent ductus arteriosus, pulmonic stenosis, and aortic stenosis are Merle Chows’ most frequent cardiac problems. 

Cleft Palates 

This congenital condition makes swallowing, eating, and even breathing difficult. In addition, a prominent “cleft” at the roof of the mouth is apparent in Chows with this issue, which is caused by improper embryological development. 

Intervertebral Disc Disease 

IVDD affects Merle Chow Chows by causing a damaged and bulging disc in their back or neck. This makes it difficult for them to walk correctly and cause excruciating discomfort that renders them motionless.

Brachycephalic Syndrome

As this condition is prevalent in dogs with short muzzles, dogs with short muzzles are prone to brachycephalic Syndrome. In dogs with brachycephalic Syndrome, nostrils are narrowed, and the respiratory tract is blocked. The blockage can range from difficulty breathing to total obstruction.

Merle Chow Chow Diet and Nutrition

Merle Chow Chows are high-bred dogs and need a large quantity of high-quality food. They should eat 2 to 2 3/4 cups of food every day. Each puppy is distinctive, and the correct amount and quality of food depend on age, weight, activity level, health, and more. You can split the meals into two 2 cups daily. Merle Chow Chow pups can be given both dry and wet food. High protein dog food helps the dog stay fit and healthy, improves digestion, and maintains coat shine. The dog lives a long, healthy, and happy life by adding nutrients, supplements, and vitamins. However, they are prone to obesity, so overfeeding must be avoided. Ensure the diet contains omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, chondroitin, and glucosamine. They can also be given fruits and vegetables that provide carbohydrate energy.
