Magic is a North American Miniature Australian Shepherd. He was born in Hawthorne, CA. Although he is registered as a black tri, look carefully at his face and temples... you'll see the little flecks of grey that suggest he's really a "phantom" merle. This is by far the smartest dog that I've ever handled (and I have 2 Border Collies!). He could do the agility weave poles at 4 months of age. Totally devoted to trying to steal food... he's an outrageous "countertop surfer". He's also the first dog that I've owned that was kicked out of a boarding facility "for barking too much"...(psst.. it's called "breed character"). He's my first "dual" sport dog that competes in multiple sports at the same time. He has his NAP, NJP, OAP and OJP agility titles and has qualifying scores in NADAC and USDAA agility as well. Every group has a geek... the guy who forever will wear a "cosmic kick me sign" on his back. That's Magic. If Tia were still alive, even she would pick on him. Old, blind Dodger does. Magic hangs with mom, or anyplace Jeep isn't.
