⚠️ About merle Doxiepoos: merle is a beautiful pattern, but breeding two merle dogs together can produce "double-merle" puppies with a high risk of deafness and blindness. A responsible breeder never pairs merle × merle. Read the merle genetics & health guide →
Rarer colours are often priced higher by breeders, but colour has no effect on health or temperament — don't pay a premium for a "rare" colour alone. Coat colour can also shift as a puppy matures. See how it works.
