GC The Nature Trail's MyrddinHolland Lop Broken Black Tortoiseshell Senior Buck
Even when Myrddin was just a baby, he was adorable. Normally, I wouldn't take such a baby to Nationals, but I had to scratch my broken junior buck, so I figured why not. I was pleased at his placement, considering his age: 23 out of 68 entered. His comments included "very good head" and "NICE." Myrrdin is out of GC Camelot's Merlin and The Nature Trail's Estella, a Styles Stella daughter. I knew that Merlin and Stella worked well together, so I hoped that Merlin and Estella would as well. This breeding is very similar to the one that produced May et al, but there is a touch of BBF's Yankee Doodle Dandy's line in there, too. Apparently that didn't hurt him any! His major fault is long fur. The undercoat is long enough to knot. My friend Lisa thought he'd be a fuzzy. He didn't go fuzzy, but I'm pretty sure he's a fuzzy carrier. I knew I was going to have to sit on him for quite a while until he was ready to be competitive again. It looks like his time may be coming soon. He has the best depth and width for such a short, short buck. And I love his head, ear, and crown. In fact, I'm totally in love with this boy! He granded as he approached 18 months. As with many smaller bucks, he had to wait for all of his maturity before forging ahead. I've already started breeding this fellow, so I'm relieved to get him finished.
Compare Myrddin at age two, on the left, and age one, on the right.
