I'm here. Merles are beautiful, but they do have increased risks of health problems (blindness and deafness) and Merle "Yorkies" are NOT Yorkshire Terriers, they are crossbred dogs. What really ticks me off, though, is the idea that people might be trying to trick the MARS test by crossing color genes from other breeds into Yorkies for more than 3 generations and thinking somehow that it must be okay. There is no better way to spell u-n-s-c-r-u-p-u-l-o-u-s.
