Wishbone, pictured at 6 months winning 1st in 6-9 puppy class (BCOA Supported Entry Sweeps & Regular classes) at Abilene Kennel Club Show 1/29/00.

"Wishbone" is the second part of the "2 puppy litter" out of Merlin and Blanca!

This litter was planned for, and tried for a number of times before coming to be! It was supposed to be a "Fourth of July" litter but missed by two days! The litter was four male puppies with one lost at birth, and one lost within the first couple weeks. The two remaining puppies "Ripley and Wishbone" remain here at Borchi!

Their registered names came to be while searching for names beginning with a "C", since beginning to name my litters alphabetically and this was my third litter. "Wishbone" got his call name by the wishbone shaped white marking on his forehead. Although as he has aged it has gotten darker and harder to see, the name has stuck!

Wishbone is a true combination of both sire and dam. He has a beautiful head from both, with full dentition. He has Merlin's good front, and Blanca has improved the rear. He has a nice top-line from both (shorter in body than his brother), his chest has nice depth, and he has Merlins long tail. His coat is thick and full like Blancas and he carries the leangth of coat of Merlin. He has good movement front and side, all in all a good sound, typey dog. Wishbone is currently be shown sparingly as time and money allows.

Along with the general training and socializing to complete and receive his "CGC" certificate, Wishbone and I have also had a try at "Agility" training. Although he may someday be capable of competing I am not sure about me! (I wasn't!)
