Moonshadow Belgian Shepherds, Australia

Ausralian Champion Moonshadow Black Magic

"Magic"

D.O.B. 31/10/2006

Magic had a great time as a show dog with the Moonshadow team as a youngster! Overall, in his first 16 months, he won Best Baby Puppy in the Working Dog Group twice, Best Minor Puppy twice, Best Puppy three times, Best Junior three times, and first in the 6-12 months Sweepstakes six times. He also won Best Exhibit in Group and Runner Up Best Exhibit in Group, and qualified for his Australian Champion Title when less than 13 months old. Some of the highlights and accompanying pictures are shown below.

Now Magic has gone to live with Rhonda and Richard in Tasmania. Below are some pictures of Magic - first getting ready for the trip to Tasmania, second out for a walk with Richard on the journey, and third helping Richard at his new home, along with his new friend, Tervueren puppy Cali.

Then next are some delightful Christmas 2009 photos - in the first, Magic and Cali survey their presents. Next, Magic enjoys his gift and then gives Richard a big Merry Christmas hug!

Then we have some pictures of Magic and Cali (now a big girl)

enjoying the winter frost in Tasmania

And celebrating a Birthday with Richard

In March 2011 we received some photos of Magic and Cali enjoying a family camping holiday on the far NW coast of Tasmania.

Next below are pictures of Magic at the ACTCA Canberra Autumn International Festival, in mid-March, 2007, at 4 1/2 months of age. We were very pleased that Magic was awarded Best Baby Puppy in the Working Dog Group on both days that he was shown - on 17 March by Mrs Honey Glendinning, a Canadian judge, and on 19 March by Ms Cheryl Egerton, also a Canadian judge.

At the Parkes shows on 9 and 10 June, 2007, Magic won Best Minor Puppy in the Working Dog Group on both days. He also won 3rd place in the 6-12 months Sweepstakes on the first day and 1st place on the second day! The next set of pictures below is of Magic at 7 1/2 months of age, at the show.

At the Tullamore/Trundle dog shows held from the 11th through the 15th of August, 2007, he won:

v four consecutive 1st Places in 6-12 Months Sweepstakes,

v three Best Puppy in the Working Dog Group awards,

v and a Runner up Best Exhibit in the Working Dog Group.

Shown below are at the left, Magic wins the first of 4 consecutive first places in 6-12 Months Sweepstakes on 11 August at Tullamore, and at the right, Magic winning his third Best Puppy in the Working Dog Group on 15 August at Trundle.

We were also delighted that with his 3 Best of Breed wins at the Newcastle Shows from the 16-18 November 2007, Magic achieved the required number of Challenge Points to qualify for the title of Australian Champion! He was just 12 months and 3 weeks of age!

Shown below are pictures of Magic, 1 year old, at the show in Newcastle on 18 Nov 2007

At his first 3 shows in 2008, Magic won Best Junior Dog in the Working Dog Group twice, and on the second time at the Sofala Show on 24 February 2008, he was also judged the Best Exhibit in the Working Dog Group. We were so proud of our boy!

Finally, here is Magic on 8 January, 2007 at just 10 weeks of age

Before we decided on Magic for his name, he was known as "the boy", and earlier puppy pictures of him can be seen in our Puppy Portraits pages and our general Puppy Photos pages.
