Hi, I see you have gotten lots of responses, but not too many answers to your questions. Some Chis have folded ears...it doesn't mean they are mixed breed but it could. Merles are an allowed color, but there are some who don't think merles are pure bred. I have heard that merles should be out crossed meaning that you should not breed a merle to a merle because that can lead to some issues, but I do not breed merle so other would have better information on that. This is a great group of people with tons of knowledge. If you have any other questions before or after you find your new best friend this is a great forum to ask on. Good luck with your search.
