@ambersaussies: Backyard breeders often breed two merles together because they breed only for profit and charge more for desirable colors like merle. Breeding two merles together causes puppies to be blind, deaf, or both and can come with other health issues. $800 is extremely cheap for a well-bred dog and is a sign they are a backyard breeder/mill. A reputable breeder will never breed two merles together and breed based on health, temperament, and working ability. #dogbreeder #dogbreeding #byb #backyardbreeder #australianshepherd #aussie
Yall aren’t reading the caption — $800 is CHEAP for a purebred dog, that’s a sign of a backyard breeder. However, you shouldn’t be paying anything for a DOUBLE merle as it creates blind/deaf puppies.

We paid about $1600 for our female Blue Merle, and joined the waitlist about 10 months in advance.

2 merle together shouldn't cost you anything - you should get them for free. And the people who did it, should be taken to court! :(

My mini Aussie is from a breeder. She is deaf. They didn’t want her back due to it and just wanted their money. 💰

We found my double Merle at 5 weeks old in a barn. We found out she was deaf and sight impaired, but we already loved her and 5 years later, we still do. 🥰💗

let's not forget breeds that aren't naturally merle passed off as purebred. My puppymill survivor is a "Merle" cocker spaniel.

I adopted my black tricolor Aussie from a rescue for $500. He’s a spitfire, but at least I know I didn’t get him from a breeder/mill 🤷🏼♀️

575 👀. Budget was 1.5k to any dog born the day my mom died. He’s all I could find 😭😂. It was 2 old country people, dad was a black n white bi and mom was a “blue Merle” she was black n white with a blue eye 😂. I plan to do a panel to make sure he’s okay.
