Hey, that's what I have! He's almost 13 and I've had him since he was about 5 months old. Just do a search under my name and you can see a lot of pics of him. Search in Dog General. What do you want to know? This boy is the love of my life.

That second pic of yours sort of reminds me of him except his markings are a lot darker. Would love to see more of Merilyn.
