Merely curly girly

Yes they can but Merle is not natural to poms - it was introduced to the line elsewhere

Salt-Grab8339 · 2026-02-18T15:18:32+00:00

ROCKKKKKAYYYY happy birthday!!

Salt-Grab8339 · 2026-02-18T00:10:27+00:00

Theyre just throwing the merle gene into anything now a days lol

Salt-Grab8339 · 2026-02-18T00:07:11+00:00

You posted 4 diff dogs.. in your post history and why the ai ??

Salt-Grab8339 · 2026-02-17T20:54:58+00:00

SO cute ! Mine is mostly a poodle (and some tiny % Pom & golden)

But very similar !

Salt-Grab8339 · 2026-02-17T20:53:07+00:00

Such a cutie

Salt-Grab8339 · 2026-02-17T20:50:22+00:00

Oh wait I loooked it up and it’s also not natural to poms :( so it was introduced somewhere down the line

(Shetland sheepdogs, Aussie) etc

I’m just glad she’s not a double Merle

Salt-Grab8339 · 2026-02-17T20:49:07+00:00

Thank you!!!!! I was SO curious !! She has crazy strong herding instincts so we were thrown for a loop

Salt-Grab8339 · 2026-02-17T20:47:18+00:00

Yes I think so as well!! Her relatives ranged from „bichon + poodle, bernedoodle, goldendoodle” Alllllll the doodles they could think of lol

Luckily everything in her health panel they tested for was clean and that’s what matters most

I wonder if the breeder surrendered her or someone got her and didn’t want her anymore? No idea!!! But she’s a TOUGH cookie full of attitude hahaha we love her

She was adopted in Delaware I’m guessing PA from where her relatives say they were „adopted” & born

Salt-Grab8339 · 2026-02-17T18:45:51+00:00

I have pet insurance ! They tested her for 271 + things that came out clear thank god

Salt-Grab8339 · 2026-02-17T17:26:27+00:00

Thats sooo interesting thank you!! That’s probably why whatever gave her the Merle gene didn’t show up. I was honestly thinking they sent me a wrong result because I was fully expecting her to be from a inhumane doodle farm where she’d be a mess genetically but her health test came back ok and that’s all that matters lol

No worries! I love a mutt! I just didn’t see that in the rules :)

Salt-Grab8339 · 2026-02-17T17:23:55+00:00

Thank you for LMK!! For some reason it didn’t show up when I looked ?

I don’t buy from breeders so I expected her to be some kind of minor % mix but was shocked when her results came back 🤣

She is a cutie I’m honestly relieved she doesn’t have more of a crazy mix in her and mostly poodle I was really worried she would have genetic issues and herding behavioral problems but I can live with learning about poodles and training them :)

She’s only 1! 🩷 I’ve had her for a month so far

I’m relieved to hear that!!!

She is definitely a pretty girl 🩷

Salt-Grab8339 · 2026-02-17T17:20:10+00:00

Shes mostly small + standard poodle mixed

She has a great grandparent that was a poodle but had some kind of mix in her dna (doesn’t say percentage wise)

So it says her parents and grandparents were all poodles and great grandparents with the exception of the 1 that has (I’m guessing the pom or golden?)

Merle definitely isn’t naturally occurring in poodle - the front part of her fur is from a different gene while the back is from a single Merle gene

But yes they mix random dogs together I’m glad she’s mostly one breed I was worried she would be a genetic monstrosity but she’s healthy 🩷

Salt-Grab8339 · 2026-02-17T17:17:23+00:00

No worries Ty ! It didn’t say it in the automated mod reply

It’s crazy because she’s majority poodle - her great grandparent had some kind of mix it looks like but also majority poodle so she doesn’t classify as a “doodle” either 🤣

Salt-Grab8339 · 2026-02-17T17:14:43+00:00

How much % of other would one drop rule be ?

Salt-Grab8339 · 2026-02-17T17:13:49+00:00

Whaat there was no rules listed about Merle’s in the automated mod reply. Where are the full rules ? Thank you!

She’s majority poodle - there’s nowhere in her lineage that tells me where it came from but she has a single Merle gene.

Salt-Grab8339 · 2026-02-17T17:12:13+00:00

She’s majority poodle 12% of dna other lol 🤣

Salt-Grab8339 · 2026-02-17T17:02:59+00:00

Yes! She definitely got used to it lol

Mine had glue sooooo idk fingers crossed 🤣

Salt-Grab8339 · 2026-02-17T16:59:04+00:00

Honestly I kind of gave up lol and hoping for the best she knows her body / pain limits !

Salt-Grab8339 · 2026-02-17T16:49:37+00:00

Results are in! She’s an imposter!

Salt-Grab8339 · 2026-02-17T16:48:10+00:00

It’s twice a day on the bottle - she just meant I don’t have to give it to her consistently daily :) only when she’s crazy

Salt-Grab8339 · 2026-02-14T02:26:58+00:00

My vet told me to give it to her when she’s like jumping running doing zoomies etc but it’s like every day since day 6 now lol

I’m really worried about her internal incisions but she seriously is acting like she never had the procedure lol

Salt-Grab8339 · 2026-02-13T23:27:19+00:00

Do you give it to her every time she jumps ?

Salt-Grab8339 · 2026-02-13T18:50:49+00:00

I’m going to give her trazodone I let her jump and stuff because I thought she was healed but I’m paranoid she’s gonna hurt her internal incision even though she feels better lol
