The Beauty of Merle Coloring in Sheepadoodles

Sheepadoodles, the adorable crossbreed between an Old English Sheepdog and a Poodle, are well-known for their striking appearances and delightful personalities.

Among the wide variety of coat patterns and colors they can inherit, one of the most stunning is the merle coloring. Fortunately at Sheepadoodle Dynasty, we have some of the most unique and beautiful Merle Sheepadoodle puppies available this March 2025. But you may ask, what makes a Sheepadoodle have a merle coat with possible blue eyes? How does selective sheepadoodle breeding and genetics help these sheepadoodles acquire this unique and beautiful look, and what makes it so captivating?

🧬 How does selective breeding and genetics create a Merle color?

The Merle coat is the result of a specific genetic trait that produces a marbled or dappled pattern with lighter and darker patches. Through responsible Sheepadoodle breeding, we ensure that our Merle Sheepadoodle puppies inherit this stunning coat pattern in a safe and ethical manner.

🐾 What Makes a Sheepadoodle Merle?

✔️ Merle is a dominant gene, meaning only one parent needs to carry the trait for it to appear in the puppies.
✔️ Merle Sheepadoodles can have blue or heterochromatic eyes, adding to their striking appearance.
✔️ Color variations include Blue Merle (gray & black) and Red Merle (reddish-brown & white).
