Well, it is impossible for you to get a actual blue merle Rottweiler - no chance of it happening, not with registered, pedigreed animals. There has to be something mixed in there.

There are a lot of breeds who do come with merle coloring - Beauceron being one. This breed also comes black and tan like rotts. I would suspect that, since the pups are not plush coated like an Aussie, you may have a line of 'Rotts' who were, along the way, mixed with a Beauceron, a Great Dane, something else large with merle coloring.

It is just an impossibility - you can get Rottweilers with incorrect markings, white spots, long or wire coats, but not merle coloring.
