Northern Lore Windsprites

11/29/2025

We often get asked about how Windsprites handle the winter! As a general rule, full-blooded Windsprites with long hair seem to be quite cold tolerant, while smooth Windsprites resulting from Whippet backcross tend to benefit from coats and sweaters.

Speaking from personal experience, Haven and Fable love the snow!

Hi, y'all!

Just a reminder that if you're interested in being considered for a Northern Lore puppy and you'd like some very occasional behind-the-scenes updates about our future breeding plans, you should fill out our Future Friends Form!

I also invite you to reach out to me via Messenger at any time! Say hi, introduce yourself, ask questions about the breed, let me know what kind of timeline you've got in mind, or what kind of dog you're dreaming of adding to your family. I'm always happy to help.

Looking forward to hearing from you and sharing more updates soon!

Haven and Fable both ADORE children, but Haven is particularly exceptional with them. Though tempering her zeal for licking them in the face is a work in progress, she is always so unbelievably sweet and patient with any kids who visit us.

There's no counting the number of sweet kisses, tail wags, and gentle gazes our charming canine ambassadors from Northern Lore Windsprites and Prairie Fire Windsprites shared with the crowds today at the Wisconsin Dog Fair 2025!

Many more photos to come soon!

An excellent video demonstrating the double suspension run that is characteristic of sighthound breeds, including the Windsprite.

Windsprites are doing an amazing job of representing the breed in ASFA (American Sighthound Field Association) Lure Coursing! Of the Top 5 dogs running in the LCI (Lure Chasing Instinct) "Sighthound Mix" category in North America, THREE are Windsprites, including our very own Blue Mist Moral of the Story "Fable" in 5th place!

At present, Windsprites represent over 25% of the Top 20 in their category. Congratulations to all!

Not only did our friend over at Waterbug Design do a beautiful job creating the Prairie Fire Windsprites logo recently, he also made these gorgeous vinyl decals featuring a gaiting Windsprite silhouette! I'm partial to the one with the hand-lettering myself.

Pick up a couple stickers and support a wonderful artist, while showing your Windsprite breed pride 🥰 Link in the comments!

Thank you, Lenny!
