There is no such thing as a merle colored yorkie. He is likely mixed w/ a Pom - as that breed does have merle as a color.
You may want to read the actual yorkie breed club website -
The Yorkshire Terrier Club of America - to understand the yorkie breed standard. The merle color is absolutely not included in the breed standard and therefore cannot be called a yorkie. That's just a fact - and not at all a judgement. Trust me - I LOVE merle-colored *anything*
- it's definitely not a judgement!
