Factors Affecting the Price of a German Shepherd

Yes, but we only register merle dogs in breeds where this type of coat is known to traditionally appear. In these breeds, merle is a long-standing and commonly-occurring colour, and there is a well-established tradition of careful breeding to avoid merle-to-merle matings.

The rare the merle, the higher the price. For breeds in which the merle gene is rare, such as Border Collies, Pyrenean Shepherds, Beauceron, and Pomeranians, the price can go higher than for other breeds that can commonly have a merle.

Also known as dapple, merle is characterized by irregular blotches of fur set on a lighter background of the same pigment, such as solid black on gray (called blue merle) or solid brown on tan (red merle). Blue and partially blue eyes are often seen with the merle pattern, as well.

Probably an American line or West German line would be best for you. If you're wanting a working dog for police work, Schutzhund, security, or personal protection, you'll definitely need to purchase from a working line. If you want a stable temperament, the German and/or Czech working line is your best bet.
