Take my breeder for instance -- she doesn't intend to breed homozygous merles, but in a merleXmerle breeding, sometimes they pop up. Does she kill them? Nope, she finds a good home for them. And I like her for that.

Well in my breed, a merle/merle breeding is a big no no and responsible breeders wouldn't do it. Pups in that kind of breeding can end up being born without eyes, born blind or deaf. That's why breeders don't do it. I'm not sure if that's the same in your breed or not.

And I didn't say I agreed with killing pups because they don't look right. I said that I agreed with it if they had a genetic deformity that was detrimental to their quality of life. Or that's what I meant to say
