Merlin is heriditary clear of PDP1 as both of his parents have been tested and certified as clear. 

Merlin lives with Gerry and Lyndsey Steel, with whom he causes havoc!  Gerry and Lyndsey are clearly suckers for punishment as they are also the owners of Maursett Morna at Stonielea,  with whom they have also enjoyed considerable success in the show ring.  Merlin qualified for Crufts at his first attempt and is set for an exciting career in the show ring.
