Holland Lop - GC Camelot's Merlin - Senior Buck I don't think this fellow takes a bad picture. I had dozens to choose from! He's got a massive head, wonderful hindquarter (when he's eating well) and great fur.

Even stretching up to see something afar, he shows those stumpy legs of his. He has outstanding bone.

I love his curvature, which is spoiled a tiny bit right now by some nibbling neighbor. Even so, you can see the round head.

Holland Lop - GC Camelot's Merlin - Senior Buck A broad chest and nice cheeks around out this marvelous fellow.

Merlin has begun showing very well for me. But what I like best about him is that he's producing some outstanding offspring.

He produced four daughters in one litter that were all keepers. His best daughter so far is GC The Nature Trail's May, 4 legs. Merlin and May granded in the same show! In fact, another daughter of his from a different litter took her class in that show as well.

Holland Lop - GC Camelot's Merlin - Senior Buck On the down side, Merlin produces fuzzies, which will make it more of a challenge to line breed him. But with the successes such as they are, I'm certainly willing to risk it.

I also found out recently that Merlin carries the REW gene, as does his daddy Caesar.

Update: Merlin has produced consistently wonderful offspring. His children include May, Hilary, Jewel, Purdy, Wizard, MLK, Myrddin, Navaro, Q, Bliss, Markie, and more! Seven (7) of his offspring and 8 of his grandchildren have already granded. More are very likely to in the future. He's my favorite herd buck, with 148 descendents having been born in my barn already, not including those in the nest box right now!
