Merlin is sired by our first American Import Aust Ch Belrob's Piece of the Rock. He has enjoyed a great show campaign, winning too many awards to mention at Championship and Royal Shows; proudly including Multiple Best In Show, Best In Group and In Show All Breeds awards. Some of Merlin's most notable success include Best in Group at the NSW Spring Fair, Runner Up to Best In Group at Canberra and Bathurst Royals, and Best In Group 3rd, followed the next year by a Best In Group 2nd, at the prestigious Melbourne Royal. Merlin is our first home-bred Champion male, and our first Grand Champion, and we couldn't be prouder of his achievements in and out of the show-ring. He is also the sire of multiple Champion progeny including Mutliple Best In Show winning siblings, Gr Ch Rustufarion Cyber Star and Gr Ch Rustufarion Cyber Kaos.

These days Merlin enjoys being 'boss' around the house and is my constant companion. He now has taken a step back to give his children and grandchildren a chance in the spotlight, however will occassionally make a return to show-ring to show the youngsters how it is done! Merlin is a once-in-a-lifetime dog and has set the standard here at Rustufarion.
