That we can.... I'm just dreaming for a temperamentally stable girly that is a rockstar at agility. If she's crazy colored, that's awesome. If she's solid, that's awesome too. There are pros and cons to both, I couldn't even honestly say what color I'm hoping for right now. 
Traveler's litter was two males and one female and I'm gonna be stressing until they are on the ground.
I am going to be swimming in jealousy for the next year or five, fyi.
From what I understand, yes. Rather like Catahoulas, they seem to be a breed with a lot of cryptic merles, highly colored merles, and very little white as a rule. Supposedly like Catahoulas they don't generally have the issues seen in the flashy white merles of the common US breeds. I don't know how much testing or real data collection has been done on that, though.

Like Shai said. Newer breeders tend towards solids to merles but s so much of the breed has always been Merle to Merle its hard toknow with out them being tested who is really a solid.
Most breeders breed to the heavily mereled dogs with little white or heavy solid patches. Seem to minimize the issues. Would love more studies but they would be hard to do and ethically questionable
