If you've got your heart set on a certain size (and breed) AND you want a puppy, I think your best bet is to o to a breeder. That said, blue merle mixed breed puppies with tails are ALL over petfinder- it's just that size can be really tough to predict in a pup that could be part Aussie- or could be part great dane or catahoula. You just don't know. If you're set on the size and breed and rescue, I'd go with a young adult or 'teenaged' puppy.
The merle breeds I can think of are: Aussie, Collie, BC, SHelties, Cardigan Corgi, Great Dane, Dachshund, and Catahoula Leopard Dog. There are merle chihuahuas, poms, poodles and cockers, but I very, very much doubt that any of those are purebred, since the colors have juts popped up in the last 10 years and... yeah.
