Thank you all
I am so proud of him! I love him so much, he is the best dog I have ever had. Lauren, he has changed alot since I brought him home, poor little thing. Barbara, you are right, Odin and Merlin look alot alike. Everytime you post a picture of Odin, I see so much of Merlin in him. They have the same light coat underneath. You never know they could be related
Seems like people get DS and then they get spread all over the place
Merlin says he will rip up stuff animals with Marco anytime! I was looking through all my pictures of Merlin just to take a look at his leg, I couldnt help but want to post and now and then. The first pic will be of his brother Soba, poor little baby rest in peace(he was 5 weeks old in the pic). I will always miss that sweet little baby, but we are MORE than happy to have saved his brother, Merlin. The other will be Merlin right when we got him (those who haven't seen the pictures before look at his joints and feet) and then Merlin now
The scary part about Merlin turning out to be such a nice looking ds is that the man who sold him to me is now watching him on facebook and wanting to use pictures of him to show to people for his next litter
scares the crap out of me, wish he couldn't have more!

) I almost had second thoughts about the breed all together. The dog is vicious. The dog was clawing to get to us and eat our faces off. Its scary.... considering I know there are several things he lied to me about, then charged me for a second dog, when mine died at 7 weeks ( I get it, he didn't think that it had anything to do with him). Not only did he charge me more then what I paid for Soba, he said that he had to beg these people who loved this puppy to sell him to me..... freaking liars loved him so much he was crated til his legs grew wrong. I often wonder now if the things that happen to Soba are because he was way to young to even be away from his mom and eating solid food from the beginning, or even some other health problem. Who knows. I do know, its very scary to think of him trying to sell these dogs to people in this area for 1000 bucks, knowing he won't get that for them... which is why he ended up selling them on craigslist for 200 bucks to begin with. Uggg, Im glad I saved Merlin, but I could go on forever 
. Here is to a long life with my handsome Merlin. Oh and thanks to everyone on the forum for sharing experiences and ideas with me
