it has been decided...

So after hearing all your comments and going with my original choice, Merlin it is.

Thanks,
Joe

Great pictures. Your CAG is beautifull-Good Luck. Merlin is a fantastic name. Especially from me since I love all that King Arthur LOTR type stuff. Anyway, I'm curious as to what causes them to be hatched with short toes like that. If the cause is known that is.

I believe he was hatched with regular toes and the parents of this particular group bit the toes off. At least thats what I was told, and since he does have one full toe and nail and the others seem to be just short of where the nail should be, I believe it.

Oh, and I wanted to thank Lisa for sharing the photos of when he was a baby. Thanks!
