Merle version of the German Pinscher  was selected against by breeders of the GP because they felt the white compromised health.  Instead they were likely seeing the effects of merlexmerle breeding (which typically or can result in blindness, deafness and other issues).  Probably extinct.  No registries since early 1900s.
