Looking for a breeder of Merle Pomeranians in Michigan?

Let me say these colored poms are so adorable. Here is a websites I found.

Good Luck in finding the perfect puppy.

Ok just a few things.

-Most breeders will NOT breed merles even though its an accepted color in the breed. Why? Because merle and blue eyes tend to go hand in hand and blue eyes are a fault in the standard.

-Looking for a breeder who "specializes" in one particular color in a breed where a variety are acceptable is NOT a good breeder.

-what on earth impresses you about this kennel? No mention of doing ANYTHING with their dogs, no mention of health clearances on the parents OR mentioning of BAER and CERF clearances on their merle pups. BOTH are a must. No pedigree information. Nothing. So again I ask what about this kennel appeals to you?

worry less about coat color(its going to be a pet afterall) and focus more on the QUALITY of the breeder you are going to be dealing with.

If any you find happen to have merle in their lines and are breeding them properly then go for it but don't just pick a breeder JUST because they have merle in their lines.

Merle is not a color at all, it's a pattern not a dilution, and since it's only showed up in the breed recently (as in my own) the belief is that the gene was introduced via cross-breeding to shelties. I know of no pom breeders that I would consider reputable that would breed merle poms knowing they're not in fact purebred dogs.

I second that Beal's poms suck. You can do much better even if you insist on a merle. I didn't see any mention of even health testing on their site and no health guarantee. Not a single pom they have in their breeding program is a good example of the breed

Good breeders just don't breed for merle. They can't use them in their breeding programs due to ethical issues, so why would they go out of their way to produce one?? One may pop up once in a blue moon, so if you want a REPUTABLE breeder AND a merle, you may have to wait a very, very, very long time. Besides, most breeders aren't going to be pleased with your insistence on only one particular, "rare" colour. Colour has nothing to do with personality or temperament, and those are how breeders match puppies to families. You may just have to give this one up.

edit: pleeeeease don't use puppyfind! Reputable breeders have waiting lists, and require patience. People who just breed for the money have no wait list, no confirmed, pre screened homes, and use sites like puppyfind and Kijiji and other online classified sites to sell their poorly bred, un health tested puppies to anyone with the cash. You might save a little bit of money up front, but pay dearly (financially and emotionally) when your new pet turns out to be sick or have serious genetic defects.

May I give you a suggestion? Well, I'm going to. Please attend the 2012 Detroit Kennel Club show at Cobo Hall. If I remember correctly it's in March. (you can Google it) It is one of the very few *benched* shows left in the country, and you can meet a ton of breeders/exhibitors and talk to them till your blue in the fact. If you've never been to this Cobo Hall show, it's worth making a day of it when looking for a specific breed. There ARE breeders there from all over the US, and then some. Check it out as you won't be sorry you went!

Add: I just went to the *Beal's* website and they suck!

Add #2: Ethical breeders do NOT breed for color. That is the last thing on their list. They breed for QUALITY, supurb conformation, genetic good health, correct temperament for the breed, and longevity of life! Health testing is only ONE piece of the puzzle, and colors that are not acceptable to be shown, are not bred for. No responsible breeder will breed for this, EVER!

Only BYBers would breed a default gene into a dog.

Reputable breeders want and try to breed bad genes out of the animals.

Contact the AKC and have them put you in touch with the Pomerainan breed club breeder closest to you.

Buying on line is the same as buying from Puppy Mills.

I have been also looking for a dog my niece told me to go on puppyfind.com it will show you any kind of animals for letter a to z in dog names .than you would go on the website and look up the animal under p and it might have the one you are looking for and you could look for it in any state. I hope this was helpful for you because you could also look up Pomerania's in michigan. The dogs are at prices that are like that might be cheap for that kind of dog or it might be like that is a lot of money for a dog. the dogs could be at $350 and up to $1000.It sounds like a lot of money but if you find the dog that you really love the money will not matter. if you want to find a dog for $400 go to puppyfind.com to look at that kind of dog

google breed club

research breeders that test their dogs

to me you are just supporting byb/mills as that is where most of theirs go after they get their money
