	if I could have had you forever, it wouldn't have been long enough. You will be forever in my heart..

Merlin is our very first Beardie. He was born on November 12, 1990. His AKC name is "Wildwoods Arcadia Sugar Lover". His sire is "Ch. Arcadia Family Tradition" and his dam is "Ch. Arcadias Wildwood White Gold". He arrived in our lives, hearts and home after flying to us from Indiana in January 1991 at the age of 8 weeks. He is blue & white. He started as a dark blue/grey color, almost black. His coat lightens and darkens with the seasons. He has beautiful grey/brown eyes.


	This is Merlin at 8 weeks old.




		Here's Merlin as a puppy chewing on a stick. Mmmmm.




	Merlin was quite busy while I was at work one day. He enjoyed reading the paper.




		This is Merlin in full coat. He looks so handsome!
