Merle is not an accepted color in poeldos. Not likely to find a RESPONSIBLE breeder of one anywhere. A responsible breeder will:1) be breeding to the breed's standard..no teacup, micro, mini, imperial, king, or other goofy term for runts or oversized dogs. No intentional rare , meaning unaccepted by the breed standard, colors either.2) will be actively showing or working the parents.3) will have genetic health testing done, such as OFA or PennHip, CERF, VonWillebrand's, etc.4) will give you the results of that testing in writing5) insists on spay/neuter for pet pups.6) has a contract citing the spay/neuter clause and also offering to take back the pup at any time for any reason for the rest of its life.7) is open, honest, and available to the new owner, and can talk aobut their breed for hours.8) does a home check before placing a pup, and will turn down homes that might not be suitable for a pup of their breed.9) does not put money above the well-being of their animals.If the breeder you are considering doesn't fit these guidelines, find a better breeder. You are more likely to get a mentally and physically healthy pup from a responsible breeder.
