Sharing... these cuties will need a home with LOTS of patience and willingness to learn how to work with and train a pup with disabilities.
🌟 Introducing the Big Bang Theory Litter 🌟
Four tiny stars — Penny, Sheldon, Raj, and Leonard — came into the world through no fault of their own. Born with soft fur, bright spirits, and a genetic twist that changed their lives forever: they are double merles.
They didn’t ask to be bred this way.
They didn’t ask to struggle to hear or to see.
But they’re here — full of love, wonder, and the purest hearts you’ll ever meet. 💔🐶
🧬 What Is a Double Merle?
When two merle-coated dogs are bred together, 1 in 4 puppies is likely to be born a double merle — a genetic combination that often causes deafness and vision loss.
Double merles typically have white coats, light eyes, and a high risk of sensory disabilities.
This isn’t rare. It’s preventable.
And it’s not supported by responsible breeding practices. In fact, the American Kennel Club (AKC) does not recognize or register double merle dogs as a breedable type, and rightly so.
🚫 Why This Matters
Penny, Sheldon, Raj, and Leonard are the result of a mistake — or worse, negligence. Breeding two merle dogs together isn’t just careless — it’s cruel. These four puppies may look unique, but they’re living proof of why genetics must be respected. This isn’t about color — it’s about kindness.
Despite it all, these babies love without hesitation. They play, they cuddle, they explore their worlds in their own beautiful, determined ways. 💕
✨ They don’t need pity. They need understanding, commitment, and families who see them for more than their challenges.
❤️ If you’ve got space in your heart (and patience in your soul), these pups will show you just how bright a double merle can shine — when they’re finally given a chance.
