That just sends red flags up to me. Just MHO.

Also it doesn't say what if any health testing she does on her dogs.
I've been emailing back and forth for a while. Also, I've spoken with other breeders about her. She is very well known and does do health testing.

The Merles are very rare. Also, the few merles that I have found have flat coats. She's the first breeder that I've found that actually has fluffy Merles.

Regardless, that IS an arm and a leg. Like I said, I'm just tossing the idea in the air. It seems ridiculous to pay that much for a dog, especially when there are so many other pups out there. I really really want a merle though. Just want you all to know what I'm thinking, so there isn't to much shock if it happens. I can guarantee you all that if I do wind up buying another dog, there will be tons and tons of thought put into it first.
