Evanpark Gandolf The Grey Among Piratebears

Click Here for Merlins Youtube Video!

Merlin is our first boy,after losing King Louie we heard of a grey boy being born at Evanpark kennels,we were big fans of the lovely wrinkly nose Evanpark faces and very typey dogs and were over the moon when June and Howard allowed Merlin to own us !

We are very proud of our Merlin,at just 4 months old the vet diagnosed Luxating Pattela.The specialist at Davis and White told us not to expect much from Merlin,he said it was unlikely he would take to the water and he would never jump from the boat.

Now,at 3 years old Merlin has passed his level A & B water tests and his level 1 carting,he also has now started leaping from the boat,we are so very proud of our brave boy. 

In July 2009 Merlin suffered from a full gastric torsion (G.D.V / Bloat) we were beside ourselves with worry.It was touch and go for a while,but fate shone down and Merlin and has blessed us so far with an extra 14 months with our brave boy.

Merlin to date has several A tests under his belt and plenty of level 1's - he has his multi test passes in both.He loves to swim with his 'girls' Robyn and Lauryn but if Saul and I dont swim with him enough he goes on the turn and sulks! we havent pushed Merlin as much as we ought to in the water as he does stress out a lot,and since his GDV scare we let him do exactly what he wants in the water! which is mostly playing with his glove and diving for stones!

Our only boy,and what a boy he is! Moo man - we love you xxx
