Marsha, I found this very interesting. Do you happen to know WHY the Merle's are being pushed out? I was not aware of this and I agree with you, it will be sad for those breeders who have prided themselves on their Merle's. I'm just curious why those puppies would be unacceptable...sounds racists to me! (sorry...LOL).
