Blue

   Who stole the bread?

Slate blue merle. This girl is genetically a blue dog with the merle pattern. She has a blue nose and no black on her body. With AKC we are required to register her as blue merle instead of the proper name which would be slate blue merle. Our parent club say just register these as blue merle just like with gold merles they are not interested in changing the standard to make it correct at this time.
