Merlin is one smoochy boy who just loves a snuggle,a very large gentle giant. At only 10 months old Merlin is almost the size of a small dog with a heart as big and as kind as he is. Merlin has a very gentle spirit, nothing seems to bother him. Nothing gives Merlie more pleasure than cuddling on your lap or anyones lap for that matter of fact. Whether it is my little niece or nephew when they come to visit or one of the many dogs he lives with. Unfortunately when Merlin tries to cuddle up to Banjo the magpie he lives with.Merlin will cop a sharp beak on the bottom and a pull of his ears, still this doesn't seem to bother him. Merlin has fur so soft to the touch it feels like velvet. So if you are looking for one very handsome gentle boy who is child, dog and bird friendly Merlie is your boy.
