I mean, I kind of want one. I wouldn't go buy one from a breeder, but if I was dogless and someone thrust the leash of one into my hands, I wouldn't say no.
I'm now trying to find a merle poodle on eBay or kijiji. This is your fault. Actually, everything is your fault.
EDIT: Nope, can't find one. Sadface. I totally saw an ad for St Bernard/Poodle mixes, though. My reaction was "WANT!!!!!!" Besides, by the time they're 3-4 years old and get dumped in a shelter, I'll be able to snatch one up! Perfect timing.
i have a horrible awful merle fetish. i seek out things that people have made merles and i lust for them and want them. iv actually purchased two merle "pit bulls" and had a deposit in for a merle "frenchie". i would scream and die if i had a merle poodle
how are these things even made? i mean the merle frenchies i saw LOOKED like frenchies. they were typey. littermates were typey. they didnt look like chihauhauh mixes. the merle cockers look like cockers, they dont have sheltie coat or sheltie heads. how are people getting things with merle that LOOK legit (cuz we all know they aint)
I WANT A MERLE POODLE *throws a tantrum* I WANNA MERLE ERRTHANG
Meh. Different looking for sure, I would definitely do a double take if I saw it walking down the street, but if we're talking preferences, I like standard poodle colours. Don't tell Ned, but I tend to prefer solid to merle! The flaming option sounded too aggressive LOL so I voted cookies because they sound DELICIOUS.

SO GLAD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE. I WANT A MERLE FLUFFY THINGY SO BAD.
Anyway, they're doing it by lots and lots of breeding back to the original breed. This poodle is probably 3-6 generations removed from the merle breed. All they need is one. I looked on the dog's pedigree and half of it isn't even registered on both sides.

Too aggressive for you, maybe, but I'm actually expecting it before too long. Let's face it, this is chaz. We're super pro-breeder in comparison to how this forum was 5 years ago, but still pretty anti-mutt breeding.
While I like quite a few individual dogs that are merle, I generally prefer solid dogs. And honestly the semi lethal aspect of merle makes me wish it didn't exist.
Flashy though.
Just watch, now I'll end up with a merle dog next. The universe just works like that

Yep! Any poodle that's merle is a mutt somewhere down the line. So, this dog is definitely a mutt, and the breeder is trying to pass it off as a purebred poodle. Half the 'pedigree' is missing. It's hilarious.
That was why I added the 'flaming' option. I've already admitted that I like goldendoodles, and now posting a thread about a merle poodle being awesome is probably going to foster resentment.
I have to say that as a groomer, I loathe most doodles. Labradoodles and Goldendoodles. We see so many with health issues, NASTY temperaments and allergies. Most of them have more of the poodle coat around here. It is just gross. I seriously have no idea why people consider them a "breed" as they're NOT. They're mutts. Plain and simple mutts.
The merle coloring is cool looking but........just what the world needs more ill temperamented doodle type dogs.
