Merlin came from a wonderful hobby breeder in Amarillo, TX. His sire is Romanian Jr. Champion Chase The Storm Of Clear Passion, imported to America from Romania. His grand sire is two-time World Champion Dewmist Silk Screen “Storm” (who was a conformation and hunting champion). Merlin is a big, spoiled mess; nosy and fun-loving. He is very well-mannered and has an all-around "happy-go-lucky" attitude. He loves birds and will turn into a high drive, energetic lightning bolt when we train with them or go out hunting. He loves hunting mice and rats and will randomly bring me his "trophy". He has the best and easiest coat to groom. It might be long, but he almost never gets mats or tangles, and stickers comb right out, he dries off so fast after a swim or bath, like 3-5 shakes and he's mostly dry. Very wash and wear. All of my dogs are really.
He is truly a jack of all trades and a once in a lifetime dog. I hope his daughter, Gwen is as amazing as he is. She really is once you get past all that puppy energy. I have high hopes for her.
We are working for his RN (2 legs so far) and hopefully will start some UKC titles. He might be getting older, but he isn't ready to quit. He has hunting and show lines and has produced puppies who are amazing family hunting dogs, therapy dogs, and some have started in obedience and are rocking Dock Diving. Finn (a Vivian/Merlin boy) has even been invited to Dock Dog Nationals!
Merlin is available at stud to select females, feel free to contact me for more info, and the Stud Service Contract! He won't be standing to outside females much longer.
