A cross between a silver poodle and a blue merle Aussiedoodle (which is an Australian Shepherd and Poodle mix) could produce puppies with a range of colors, including variations of silver, gray, and blue, as well as potentially some darker markings, based on the merle gene.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
The Merled Pattern: "Allie"
The blue merle color is a dilution pattern, where a merle gene dilutes the base color of a dog, resulting in a mottled or "mottled" coat.
The Silver Poodle Influence: "Romeo"
The silver poodle contributes the silver or grayish base color, which can be further diluted or mixed with the blue merle pattern.
Possible Color Combinations:
Silver with Merle Patches: The most likely outcome would be a combination of silver or gray with darker gray or blue merle patches, potentially creating a "blue merle" or a paler version of it.
Variations in Color Intensity: Some pups might have a lighter silver or gray base, while others could have a darker, almost blueish, merle color.
Other Color possibilities: Chocolate, red, and cream colors might also be present, though less likely
Shedding tendencies: The coat might be straight like the Australian Shepherd, wavy, or curly, like the Poodle, but Aussiedoodles generally have low shedding coats.
Eyes and noses:
Pups born with a pink nose may turn to black or liver color (a brown color) later on in their lives. The pups with dark features will likely have brown eyes, whereas lighter colored poodles (silver or beige) will have hazel or amber eyes.
