Question for the Leopard owners

I admit I know next to nothing about leopard hounds, but I am learning and want to know more about them because I like everything that I am hearing about them. In the latest addition of the American Cooner, John Wick had a really well written article about the latest breed of hound. In his article he used the term "merle" quite frequently and I do not understand what he was describing. He described two hounds that looked completely different as both being merles. I am guessing he was describing a color pattern, but I am not sure what this pattern is. Any insite would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and happy hunting.
