About Merle

Meet Merel, a charming baby boy with a playful spirit. At just two months old, he’s full of energy and curiosity. He's a mixed breed, lovingly assessed as a Labrador Retriever and Pointer combination, sporting a short black and white coat that's as striking as it is soft. Merel is currently crate-trained and gets along wonderfully with both dogs and children. It's worth noting that he isn't house trained yet, so a little patience will go a long way with this one. He will thrive in an active home that can offer him love and guidance.
