By the way, since a double merle breeding can result in blind and/or deaf pups, I can't respect a breeder who goes out of the way to introduce the merle gene into a breed that does not carry the gene, just to get a pretty color.<br />

There are thoughtful reasons to outcross or create new breeds.<br />

Introducing a color that has no practical benefit and can be harmful is not one of those reasons.

The merle gene does not exist in the Pembroke gene pool. If someone is breeding them, there is another breed in the family tree.
