Merlin
died October 2002 at the age of 12. He was always my very special loving sweet
boy. He and Raven are together under the oak trees. I miss them both so very
much.
Merlin was my first borzoi and my first obedience dog. He earned his CD in
4 trials at the age of 2 with a 193.67 average. CDX average was 192.8, completed
in four Trials at the age of 4. His UD average was185. He completed his UD
in three consecutive trials ending with a 193 and lst place at the Kings Kennel
Club in Hanford at the age of 6.
Merlin was retired after completing his UD. He was the subject of an article
in European Borzoi in the Summer of 98. He loved to go for walks in the orchard
and to ride on the front seat of the van and look out of the window. He enjoyed
Obedience and after he was retired loved to play at it with me.
