Hello, I am new to the forum and am pretty desperate for some input on the puppy we are going to be taking home soon. She is about 6 weeks old, currently. Recently, I became aware of the merle mutation in the breed and realized that my own pup might have the gene as her eyes are a clear blue color and she has no color in her nose. I had no idea that this was as thing at all, am slightly panicked now. Should I be concerned for future health issues? We do plan on having her spayed and she will not have any litters. In addition to the coloring concerns, her eyes appear to be a bit googly at times. Is that strabismus, or just because she a puppy and not indicative of underlying health issues?
