We usually don’t do many boastful posts but the NewMoon family has been putting in the work these past couple weeks and we have some things to be proud of! Over Memorial Day weekend Cordelia(Vesta/Kerran) and Grimm(Carla/Jackson) ventured up to New York to attend the IABCA show in Oneonta.
Cordelia received:
Show 1- Best of Breed and a Group 1 placement
Show 2- Winners Bitch
Show 3- Best of Winners
Show 4- Winners Bitch
Grimm received:
Show 1- Winners Dog
Show 2- Best of Breed/Best of Winners, Group 1 and Reserve Best in Show
Grimm also got his Breed Champion accolade with his Show 2 win!
This past weekend we attended the Shiloh Shepherd IEW event in Weirton, WV. We were proud to have 9 NewMoon dogs registered, which makes up essentially 1/4 of the participants for the weekend. In attendance we had Kepler(Mystic/Zane), Hestia and Omen (Vesta/Chancelor), Oberon and Brave (Nova/Odin), Outlaw and Senora(Finlay/Barrett), Grimm(Carla/Jackson), Cordelia(Vesta/Kerran) and Sunny(Vesta/Chancelor) was cheering us on on the sidelines! In addition to showing I was honored to be bestowed the job of presenting the 2025 TSSR year end awards to some superb dogs and handlers as a stand in for our wonderful registrar who could sadly not attend.
We received the following accolades in the four shows held.
Show 1:
Cordelia: Winners Bitch and Best of Winners
Show 2:
Omen: Best Baby Puppy Male and Best Baby Puppy
Kepler: Winners Dog
Outlaw: Breed Select
In Show 3:
Kepler: Winners Dog and Best of Winners
Oberon: Reserve Winners Dog
Brave: Breed Select
In Show 4:
Omen: Best Baby Puppy Male
Cordelia finished her Breed Championship in her Show 2 win! Kepler is now only 2 points away from his Breed Championship as well.
Grimm and Cordelia also were the only dogs to pass their CGC tests (out of 6 I believe) and Shiloh Breed Ambassador certification (out of 4 adults). We pride ourselves on temperament and well behaved dogs at every event we attend and that showed true here. This should be strived for by all with no excuses in our opinion.
Brave(Nova/Odin) also received his Grand Victor year end award for ISSDC and TSSR for the 2025 year. He’s the first NewMoon Shiloh to achieve that level of honor (it is the highest pointed Shiloh for the year across all shows!). He also got to participate in his first progeny class with his two sons (Paczki and Buck) from the Maggie/Brave pairing with Brick Chapel Shiloh Shepherds! It was wonderful to meet both families and spend time with some of his progeny!
I am so proud of all my families for showing up and putting in the time, effort, energy and heart to show our dogs off properly and in a positive way! You guys are all amazing and keep me going in this crazy world of breeding. Seeing you work with your dogs to be the best they can be fills my heart. The world needs more of you all. Here’s to our future successes and the work put in along the way.
Thank you to all the coordinators who helped to put these weekends together. Coming from someone who has put an event on in the past, it takes a lot of time and effort and deserves to be praised.
