Merle Great Dane Molly
“This is my Molly. She's a Merle Great Dane, and I LOVE her!! She is the kindest, goofiest, most loving dog I know. She loves everyone that comes to the house, even if she doesn't know them (she's not a great guard dog) she would lick someone to death before harming a fly. She also thinks she should be a lap dog, my husband and I just say she's a two lap dog. I just can't say enough about her personality!! Great Danes are AWESOME dogs..” - Karri McLaughlin

"You can't show a merle in AKC because it's not a recognized color in the breed standard. Blue, Black, Fawn, Harlequin, Brindle and Mantle are the only colors you can show.
It's not recognized partially because they don't want people to breed for it. While it is beautiful, if you breed two merles together you run an incredibly high risk of getting white dogs (it's a genetic thing). White danes are usually deaf, blind or both, sometimes with other accompanying health issues.
Yours is beautiful though. Hope you guys have a lot of happy years together."

"Hi there, Your Molly, she is so adorable. I have to say that I am very lucky, because I am getting a merle great dane in a couple of weeks. He is just about the same colors as Molly. I was just wondering, I have read that colors like molly can not be shown in a dog show? why is that? if you can please write me back thank you. codahsmommie@yahoo.com. Thanks again.
Respectfully,
Michelle"

"I had a Mollygirl. I just lost her in July to bloat. A real threat to these precious dogs. Your Molly is beautiful. I had male merle, lost him to hip displaysia, his name was Apollo. Now I have his son, Bishop. He is beautiful. Check out my blog on great danes at greatdanelover.blogspot.com and see my babies. God bless Molly."
