Apollo is a unique and outstanding Australian Mountain Dog breed that is a mix of Bernese Mountain Dog and Australian Shepherd heritage. His robust build from the Bernese Mountain Dog and agility and intelligence from the Australian Shepherd creates a versatile canine companion. He has a beautiful Intermedia red coat that sets a remarkable standard for the breed.

Apollo's genetic diversity, including the merle and brown genes, makes him a valuable stud dog at Stokeshire Designer Doodles. His offspring will inherit a blend of colors, patterns, and exceptional characteristics from both parent breeds, especially when paired with SDD Pepperjack Stokes, the Tri Parti Poodle.

Apollo's genetic health profile is exceptional, and he is not at an increased risk for the 245 genetic health conditions tested by Embark. This clean bill of health assures prospective breeding endeavors that Apollo's offspring will have a solid foundation for a healthy life.

His negative predisposition to these genetic conditions adds an extra layer of assurance to ensure the well-being of the Australian Mountain Dog lineage. With his outstanding physical traits, temperament, and genetic health status, Apollo solidifies his role as an exemplary stud dog, contributing not just to the breed's aesthetics and behavior but also to their overall health and longevity.

Apollo, with his genetic makeup as a carrier of the "Bb" gene, holds the potential to contribute fascinating coat variations in his offspring. Being a carrier of the "B" gene for black pigment and the "b" gene potentially related to chocolate or liver pigment, Apollo has the capacity to produce a diverse range of coat colors in his puppies.

Given his genetic composition, when paired with appropriate mates, Apollo has the capability to sire puppies with various coat patterns. Specifically, he carries the ability to produce red or chocolate merle tri puppies. The "Bb" gene combination provides the possibility for chocolate pigment expression, along with the potential for merle patterning in the coat.

This means that when bred with compatible mates, Apollo has the genetic capacity to pass on these unique coat traits, allowing for the emergence of stunning red or chocolate merle tri-colored puppies in his litters. These potential offspring would likely display a captivating blend of colors, patterns, and markings, showcasing the diversity of his genetic heritage and contributing to the visual appeal of the Australian Mountain Dog lineage.
