Merle Roan (Uncommon)

Category: Mutations

Genetics: Rm_
Locus: Cw | Rm | R
CwRm = Cowspot, RmR = Merle Roan, nRm/RmRm = Merle Roan

Overview:

  • Originally thought to be an odd type of corn spots, this mutated form of Roan presents similarly to Merle in dogs.
  • Causes a "double layer" of roaning with patches that cut through one or both layers, being either the base color, half-opacity, or both.
  • Most patches should be close to the size of the head, with some bigger or smaller.
  • Edges should either be rounded/cut inward, like Overo, or rounded outward (small rounded edges, not large blobs).
  • Patches must be substantial in amount and scattered across the body, not focused on just one area.
  • Roaning may extend on to the cheek/head, and any patches there should cut all the way through rather than at half-opacity.
  • Mane/Tail: No effect
  • Skin: No effect
  • Eyes: No effect

Interactions:

  • May interact with Blotted.

Range:

  • Minimum: Numerous patches at least along the top 2/3 of the body from poll to dock.
  • Maximum: Numerous patches on the entire body, including the head (except for bridge of nose/muzzle) but excluding the legs.
