2011 News Not much action at the shows for us. Ella (Windacre Fashion Statement) went to 2 shows this spring and has 2 points. I will show her and Rio at Vernon this summer. In Feb. we had puppies. Jewel (Ch.Windacre Jewel in the Crown) and Rio had 3 (2 males and 1 female). Jewel retired to a couch on Vancouver Island, so we kept her daughter, Ruby (Windacre Crowned Jewel). Look for Ruby at the shows in the fall. Ceinwen (Ch.Windacre Ceinwen Conspiracy) had a litter by Rhys 4 (2, 2). Ceinwen too has retired. In May we had our first litter from Tasha (Ch.Brat Nouz Jivanshi) who came to us from Russia. Tasha was bred to Wallace and they had 3 pups (1 male, 2 females). They are big fat puppies! We plan to breed Marta (Windacre Prime Meridian) to Rhys and also Bling for her first time to Rhys. 2011 will be the year of the puppies! In August, Clara went to her first shows in Victoria. She managed to receive 7 points and also was Group 3rd the last day. Her second set of shows was in Kamloops where she finished her CH. and became Ch.Windacre Soul Sister. Rio (Ch.Windacre All about Rio) decided to try for his Am.Ch. He received a 3 point major his first weekend. He is home now to wait for future shows. Our 6 month old Ruby (Windacre Crowned Jewel) went to Kamloops to keep Clara company and her very first show she was best puppy in group and went on to be best puppy in show (all breeds). There were 4 shows in Kamloops and she won BPIG all 4. Ruby was at the Skaha KC shows September 9th to 11th and she picked up 2 more BPIGs and 4 points towards her CH. Also in Sept. we were happy to receive 2 new puppies from Europe, Matyas from the Czech Republic and Jolie from Poland. Thank you Jana and Anna! They have fit in well and we look forward to their bright future. 2010 News In February, Dot (Windacre Dippity Do Dot) started her show career and finished her championship quickly. We had a litter of 2 boys by Wallace and Jewel and at the beginning of March a litter of 3 boys by Ceinwen and Rhys. What's with all the boys! In April, Tasha went to the Canadian WHWT Club national and was winner female and best of winners and by the end of the weekend had 9 points! May saw the beginning of bling's show career. Her first weekend she was not only best of winners but on the middle day was BOB and BPIG, Group 1 and BPIS! Not bad for 10 months! Also in May Tasha received the point she need to become a Canadian champion and Bling received her 2nd and 3 BPIG and another BPIS. Our dear Pleasure has retired and now has a couch on Vancouver Island. Well deserved! In May we sent a 5 month old puppy to Anne Pelizzoni in France. We hope Anne has much success with this wee girl.
It is with great sadness that we must report that at the beginning of May , we lost our wonderful deerhound, Gandalf to bone cancer. He is sorely missed. We had the opportunity to babysit a litter of deerhounds for his breeder, Lynne Bruce from day 2 to 7 weeks. From that litter we now have friends for our westies - Gretna and Luther.
The next westie to hit the show ring was Bling (Windacre Diamonds Are Forever). She finished her CH. very quickly and also received 3 best puppy in group and 2 best puppy in show all breeds and a terrier group 1st! She is back at home and hopes to become a mother in 2011. With my dogs at home, I left for England in June. I had a wonderful time staying with Sue Thomson (Ashgate) and Jacky Ash (Hillcloud). I was just off the plane and judging at a small show near Taunton! Then we were off to Scotland and the Border Union shows. Then we packed up for the journey to Denmark and the World show! I really enjoyed seeing all the westies and meeting people I had only emailed or spoken to on the phone. My Finnish friends, Harri and Carita were there with a gift - a new mamma moomin bowl! I use it everyday for my oatmeal! After the world show it was Windsor. I saw many beautiful westies , several who I would have liked to bring home. Great trip! In September it was the turn of Rio (Windacre All About Rio) and Lacey (Mysticgold Windacre Legacy). Rio received 5 points his first weekend and also a best puppy in group. He finished his CH. the following weekend. Lacey is also now a CH. and received 3 best puppy in groups. Also a half-brother to Rio, John Angus, (Windacre at Haeloganlane) became a CH. JA lives in New Brunswick with Pat Logan-Hale. We had 2 litters in Dec. Coco (Ch.Windace in a Timely Fashion) and Rhys (Ch.Windacre White Knight) had 4 (1 male, 3 females) on the 7th and Poppet (Ch.Windacre Pride and Providence) and Rio had 5 (1 male, 4 females) on Dec. 30th which happens to be my birthday! 2009 News Our year started well with Coco, CH. Windacre in a Timely Fashion finishing her title. Trace who left us for the kennel of Elena Lapina (Braut Nouz) after 2 shows has become Can.RUS.Ch.Windacre Word Perfect and has several new litters in Russia. Way to go, Trace! At the end of May he travelled to Finland where he received his first CAC. The 3 pups from our litters of last summer have started their careers. Rhys (Ch.Windacre White Knight), his sister, Jewel (Ch.Windacre Jewel in the Crown) in very short order completed their titles. Rhys also has 6 BPIG and2 BPIS, all breeds! Our 3rd puppy, Marta (Windacre Prime Meridian) has started with a 2 point win. Wallace has returned home and we are awaiting 2 litters by him due in July. He is very happy to be home and is now retired from his world travels. In July 2 litters arrived. The first 1m, 2f for Wallace and Marley. We kept a female, Bling, who will be shown in 2010. The other was Artie and Pleasure, 2m, 2f. One of the boys went to New Brunswick to Pat Logan-Hale. John Angus has completed his Canadian championship. Thanks to Pat and John Angus! In September, Tasha (Brait Nouz Jivanshi) arrived from Russia. Because there is some hoops to jump through to register Russian born dogs in Canada, Tasha will have to wait for 2010 to be shown. We also had a litter from Artie and Coco, 1m, 2f. Ella and Rio are with us and will be shown next year. At the end of Novenber our last litter for the year arrived. Poppet and Rhys had 1 m, 4f. We chose hopefully the best of that litter to go to France (insert img 1834) to live with Anne Pelizzoni.
