Moonshadow Belgian Shepherds, Australia Champion Moonshadow Graecious
Winterain CCD, RN, ADX, JDX, SPD, GD, SD "Raina" D.O.B.
20/6/2008
As shown
above, Raina has gone to live with Elspeth and
Michael in Newcastle. She has
gone on to become a successful show and obedience dog. Thanks to
Elspeth and Michael, recent photos of Raina and
news of her accomplishments can be found below. In the
latest news, in November 2012 Raina received her
Rally Novice (RN) and Snooker Dog (SD) titles. This closely followed her achieving
her Agility Dog Excellent (ADX) title and her Gambler’s Dog (GD) title in
September 2012! Prior to that,
she achieved her JDX (Jumping Dog Excellent) title in July, 2011, her AD
(Agility Dog) title in October, 2011, and her SPD (Strategic Pairs Dog) title
in July 2012! In terms
of pictures, first we have her pictured with some of her ribbons towards the
end of 2010. Next is an “action” shot, followed by a more contemplative one!
31 July
2010 Competing
at the Belgian Shepherd Dog Club of NSW Obedience Trial, Raina
was judged the highest scoring Belgian Shepherd on the day, and attained the
title of CCD (Community Companion Dog). She also attained her JD (Jumping
Dog) title. All smiles
on the day from Raina and Elspeth, shown below being
congratulated by Michele with Louie (see Grace’s
webpage).
Many
thanks to Elspeth for her work training and showing Raina,
and to Michael and Elspeth for the pictures shown below. First, we
see Raina with Sheltie housemates Page and Ferris
in May 2010.
5
February 2010 On this day Raina
was awarded her Australian Champion title. So big congratulations to her and
of course to Elspeth and Michael her owners were sent from Rob and Lesley,
sister Dream and daddy Paco. She is now officially
called Champion Moonshadow Graecious
Winterain. On her way to her title, Rob and Lesley and Dream
and Dancer joined Elspeth, Michael and Raina at
Morisset for the show weekend of 18-20 September 2009. We were delighted when
Raina was awarded the Best Junior age dog in the
Working Dog Group! Below are some
pictures of Raina on show at Morisset. To the left
in the final picture are Lesley and Dancer, also in the Group lineup.
We caught up with Elspeth and Raina at both the Queensland and the NSW Belgian Shepherd
Specialty shows, as shown below. First we have Raina
keeping cool under the Judge's tent, and then having fun in the ring at
Queensland on 6 June 2009.
Then Raina
poses outside the ring at the NSW Show on 1 August 2009
