When breeding a blue merle standard poodle to an apricot standard poodle what colors would you get?

When breeding a blue merle standard poodle to an apricot standard poodle, the potential coat colors of the offspring can include blue merle, apricot, and possibly variations such as cream or red, depending on the genetic makeup of the merle parent. The merle gene can affect the distribution of color, leading to a mottled appearance in some puppies. Additionally, factors like the presence of other color genes can influence the final coat colors. Therefore, while blue merle and apricot are the primary colors expected, there may be a range of shades and patterns in the litter.
