Here is a visit, pictorially, with Wildheart's Magic Touch, aka: Merlin
We lost him in June 2001 to lymphosarcoma.  He has left a huge hole in 
our lives.  He was much loved, and is greatly missed.

And some of the others from our life.  Click on the pic to enlarge.  Use back to return

                   Merlin, shown here finishing for his championship.   
This was not as easy as it looked.  
For those of you who want to show, 
and for the record.  We began campaigning him 3/2/91 
and finished him 4/9/94.  In his career as show dog,
                  Merlin collected 54 points on his way to championship.
  He got his first major at the Conejo KC 10/17/92 
and FINALLY got his second major on the day
after my 50th birthday, 4/9/94.  
He took the points in 45 shows, and I just
could NOT  find a show that was a major.  
But it made a GREAT birthday present!

  Merlin likes his friend

  and here he is doing what bullmastiffs do the very best.

  Here is Merlin's Daddy.  Ch. Wildhearts Iron Eagle.  Or Chappy to his friends.

Ch. Shastid's Shawnee, and her buddy HaPennys Sultan of Karatan.

And Ha'Pennys Willy Nelson, the rough coat, red neck good ol' boy bullie.

Sultan wanted to be a fireman when he grew up.

  Ok, so it's not a bullmastiff.  I still think it's funny.
