Interesting read!

For those who live with sighthounds, this is more than an interesting science lesson; it’s a reminder of just how precisely these dogs were shaped for their jobs.

Winners Bitch and Best Bred By Exhibitor at the 2026 Greyhound National was our " Pebbles" who is Windrock Ain't Breakin' Nothin' SC. We are grateful to Judge Micheal Canalizo for finding her worthy of this honor. This win made her an AKC champion, one of several for her mother, our BIS/SBIS winning Firefly

It was a great day, just wish I hadn't been feeling so poorly

Pebbles looks to finish her FC next, and we will be planning for puppies in 2027.

We have a HUGE Brag that we are so proud to share with ya'll. Sandra Bell has informed us that her GCH CH Windrock For The Good Times FDC JC DCAT RATN DS DJ CGC ATT FITS is now an NOHS PLATINUM Grand Champion!!!!

In addition to all of his other noteworthy achievements, (from dock diving to coursing), he is a multiple Best In Show winner in NHOS and was the #1 greyhound last year in that venue, and is currently #1 in the standings this year. He is also a multiple group winner and placer in regular AKC competition.

Colin and I have bred many fine dogs over long decades, but I can readily affirm that Ty stands proudly in league with the best of them.

All of Ty's brilliant achievements would not have been possible without Sandra's training, commitment and belief and we are very grateful for everything that Sandra has done in developing this canine marvel.

We are planning for little Ty's in the future . . . they will have some mighty big pawprints to fill!

Huge congratulations to Sandra Bell owner/handler of the super accomplished TY who has more accolades and titles than I can properly list! For the second consecutive year, Ty is AKC’s #1 owner handled greyhound in the country and is a Platinum level Grand Champion!! But most importantly, he is #1 in her heart ❤️

Words to live by-

The Judge’s 10 Commandments: Top judges of times past lay down the law

1. Thou Shalt Observe the Gait: “It is only in motion that the true anatomical structure of an animal can be observed. In motion the anatomical faults can’t be concealed by clever handling.” —Dr. E.S. Montgomery

2. Thou Shalt Know Thy Standard: “Many well-experienced judges go over their breed standards each time they judge no matter how many years’ experience they have in the breed. This is only fair to the exhibitor who is paying for the judge’s opinion.”—Robert J. Berndt

3. Thou Shalt Have an Eye for a Dog: “If you’ve got an eye for a dog, you’ve got an eye for a dog. Give me a Bible for three weeks and I can learn a chapter or a psalm, but that doesn’t make me a priest.” —Roy Holloway

4. Thou Shalt Not Freak Out: “A judge who flounders or becomes flustered, or obviously suffers from indecision, can hardly be called confidence-inspiring or a credit to the fancy.” —Anna Katherine Nicholas

5. Thou Shalt Not Fault Judge: “All dogs have faults. The great ones carry them well.” —Bea Godsol

6. Thou Shalt Not Be Timid: “If I find a class dog of sufficient merit, I never hesitate to put him over a special.” —Alva Rosenberg

7. Thou Shalt Not Be Hoodwinked by Flashy Handling: “The best handling is the least handling.” —William Kendrick

8. Carefully Shall Ye Mark Thy Judge’s Book: “Check it carefully, make sure of your absentees and your 1sts, 2nds, 3rds, and 4ths, and then ask your steward to check it for you.”—Anne Rogers Clark

9. Honor Thy Steward: “Good stewards are tremendously helpful. The least a judge can do is to be polite and pleasant about the job, with a word of thanks a perhaps a drink if the bar is open at the end of the day.” —Tom Horner (England)

10. Thou Shalt Have Fun: “I think you owe it to the exhibitor to be pleasant and have some fun. I may bark, but I don’t bite.” —Jane Forsyth

Penny is enjoying breakfast. Or mostly. She is a bit off in eating as I imagine she is experiencing the canine version of morning sickness 😝 YES! We are hoping for April flowers and puppies at Windrock!

Who is Dad? Give you a hint--his full brother is currently the #1 Greyhound male in the country. I'll get around to posting the pedigree later.

This photo popped up in my memories and is from several years ago. Amber now recides at the Rainbow bridge (she lived to be 14 1/2) and Colin still has the Corvette which he takes to car shows :)
