(Rex Vom Pottsiepen JH x Wind River's Ginger Snap MH)

Magic finished her Master Hunter title at 23 months old. I didn't guide with her on the Hunting Preserve until then. After two seasons she reached Heidi's level of success. They are the best pair of German Shorthair Pointers we have seen work together. Magic learned something special during her first season. She learned when we were done hunting released birds, she would range-out to pin wild pheasants. She is by far our best wild bird dog.

Magic was a natural retriever, but was force broke like all of our Master Hunter GSPs. She was a little slow backing other breeds, especially Weimeraners. She is now one of my most stylish honoring dogs. She points and honors with the same incredible style. Magic is a quick dog in the water. She will swim for hours chasing ducks on our pond.

Magic is currently our top guide dog. Her partner, Heidi, is now 11 years old and losing some of her stamina. Magic is guiding more than her share of hunts to allow Heidi extra time to rest.

Litters

Magic was diagnosed with Blastomycosis in May of 2003. Blasto is a very serious fungal infection that most hunting dogs die from or are left blind. We were lucky enough to get an early diagnosis in order to beat it. Magic was on and off of antifungal drugs for about a year and have had no signs of the Blasto coming back. However, due to the doses of antifungal drugs that she had to endure, Magic has been bred twice with no success.

Magic has been bred to Buddy, with pups due April 1, 2006. Following this litter she will be spayed.
