Merle is not 'carried', it's a dominant gene, it is always expressed. That's why you will statistically get half merle pups when breeding a merle to a normal dog. You can have cryptic merles where the coloring of the dog hides the merle pattern. Is the bitch in question the brindle in the original post? That's not a merle, it's a blue brindle.
