Aelin won Best of Breed at the ASFA trial on Saturday and Best of Breed at the regional ASFA invitational on Sunday!!!

Saturday-
Aelin’s first run was incredible but it didn’t feel like she was putting on the full gas. Then her second run she ran her absolute heart out. She stayed right on the lure (after a tiny overshoot at the beginning) and got her bunny.

She ran off for Best in Field (against 5 other amazing breeds, 2 runs of 3 dogs) and an incredible powerhouse whippet took it. The judges told me after the awards that Aelin was unofficial second place for Best in Field. My heart exploded with joy. They gave me some lovely feedback about her as well.

Sunday-
I could cry from how proud I am of my little girl. She ran so beautifully today and was on the lure like a beast. She had to run against another silken for the breed run-off because they were tied all day, but she managed to squeak by with 1 more point to take the breed ribbon.

We rested her for awhile after the breed run-off to make sure she was feeling good for the Best of Field run-off. She was running beautifully and then took a turn and immediately started trotting so I knew something was wrong. She skinned almost her entire stop pad off on her right front leg, which killed her chances for BIF, but I’m just so glad it’s a pretty superficial injury that she can heal from without an ER visit!

I could not be more in love with this dog if I tried. She is truly my “do it all” dog and she would do anything with me. She is everything I wanted in a dog without realizing I wanted it. Thank you for trusting me with this perfect little creature Michelle and for helping and cheering her on at every step of this journey. Our girl is going to be a field champion this year… I can just feel it.

Also a HUGE shoutout to my husband and cobreeder Tyler for braving every event with a big smile and a helpful hand for all the other dog owners. You’re incredible.

They used a puppy photo of Pokeyman and a photo showing off his goofy personality in the bottom right. We love him so very much 🥰 we also love that Pocus’ sire, Storm, is showing his personality off in the top left photo in the same collage!

Most of the Greenwood gang is at SilkenFest 2022! No love in the ring for Bubba and Willow, but so much love for them outside of it. 💗 Bubba moved BEAUTIFULLY for me and I almost cried because I could feel how well he was moving next to me. I am so proud of him, he’s come so far over the three years he’s been Earth-side.

Willow started another heat cycle the day before we rolled up to SilkenFest 😅 so I’m lucky she moved at all in the ring. She’s much more confident down, but she was getting fidgety waiting for everyone else to have their turn. My hurricane didn’t like staying still, a shocker 😂

I have learned so much and met so many amazing silken friends I have been dying to meet for a long time. I’m so grateful for my community and especially my core group of silken people.

And last, BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST… Suki was at the vet yesterday for her first TCI and will receive a second TCI today. Think puppy thoughts 😘

I just want to make sure everyone knows that Greenwood Sighthounds is an inclusive breeder. We have no time for bigotry and we believe in human rights for all. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I simply don’t have time for your vitriol.

If you disagree with this, please unfollow our page and find a different Silken Windhound breeder. We are not willing to compromise our values in the slightest.

Willow has taken 2 dock diving lessons and is taking to it like a fish to water 😏 I can’t wait to see how well she’s doing by the end of the 5 week class!

What’s better than one Silken Windhound at dock diving? 4 Silkens and Borzoi!!! Seriously loved this class tonight these dogs make me think outside box, sight hounds are not natural swimmers or retrievers so we do things a little different!
