Need Help Identifying Blue Merle Pattern

by Tim
(Orange County, CA)

I’m debating wether I want to put a deposit down today to be able to secure the pick of the litter that I want. I’m hoping to have the black/white and brown typical blue merle. Although I don’t see much brown.

Does that color typically develop later or am I pretty much seeing what my potential pup will look like here?

Any expert advice is appreciated!

Merle colouring
by: Anonymous

What you see in that pup is basic blue merle, but the colouring develops as they get older. Whatever else happens I think you would be getting a handsome dog there. But, also consider the personality as it develops will suit you as well.

Awesome colors

I have had five Aussies and all have some brown and showed from small pup. That said, the pup in the picture is going to be an awesome-looking dog, brown or no brown.
