The phrase denotes canines of the Poodle breed exhibiting a specific coat color pattern called “blue merle” that are being offered to prospective buyers. This coloration presents as mottled patches of black or dark gray on a lighter gray or bluish-gray background. The presentation of such animals commercially suggests their availability for purchase.
The demand for these particular animals reflects a confluence of factors, including the Poodle’s recognized intelligence and hypoallergenic coat, coupled with the perceived aesthetic appeal of the merle coloration. Historically, Poodles have been valued as companion animals and working dogs, and the addition of a unique coat pattern enhances their desirability among certain demographics. However, ethical considerations regarding breeder practices and potential genetic health issues associated with the merle gene warrant attention.
