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”. Merlin is a big, spoiled mess; nosy and fun-loving. He is strong, healthy, and very well-mannered and has an all-around "happy-go-lucky" attitude.
Merlin has his AKC Canine Good Citizen title, and a Penn-Hip score over 90% (his hips are better than over 90% of Golden Retrievers) with no evidence of Hip Dysplasia. Merlin has half siblings with good & excellent hips! He is available at stud. I DO NOT own Merlin. Please contact Golden Retriever Street for more information.
