Vale Baxter

14/08/1995-10/12/09

 

(Australian Champion Barakuma Knight Errant)

 

Our sweet, handsome and very much beloved Baxter left us on 10th December, 2009, after we were blessed with over 14 years of his company.

 

We will never forget our lovely boy, and will always be grateful to Pat Marchevsky for entrusting us with his care.

 

In his younger days, he was a successful show dog and obtained his Australian Champion title in September 1996. He won 328 Challenge points from February 1996 through to March 2003 when he retired from the show ring.

 

He will be greatly missed by Lesley and Rob, his foster mother Shadow, Peppy his lifelong constant companion, and the rest of us here at Moonshadow.

 

Some of our favourite pictures of Baxie over the years are included below.
