Windy is the foundation bitch for Savanna Belgians. She is now retired from official competition.

We knew she was special from day one.......but everyone should feel that way about their puppy, shouldn't they?

Windy is confident and self-assured. She has always been eager to try new things and her enthusiasm has never been dampened by the corrections or crashes in life that she encountered along the way. While we did not purchase her for the conformation ring, we agreed to finish her. She has enjoyed showing, and because of her numerous successes in this venue, we decided to continue to Special her. She did quite well playing with the boys and received multiple group placements. Windy was also invited to participate in the inaugural AKC/Eukanuba Classic in Orlando in December of 2001. Windy won Best of Opposite Sex and an Award of Excellence there.

Windy had a wonderful show career. She was nationally ranked in conformation for a number of years, winning multiple Awards of Excellence, Awards of Merit, and many group placements along the way. In 2002, she was the ABTC's (and also the AKC's All-breed) #1 bitch and top 10 Tervuren. She was also national ranked in herding. Thanks always to Roxanne Chumbley for her unwavering faith in Windy and skilled handling in the conformation arena-- they were a team that was hard to beat! We also offer our sincere gratitude to Sharol and Sean Hathaway for teaching and trialing Windy in herding, and helping her to develop her natural talent on sheep, earning multiple High and Reserve High in Trial awards along the way. Although she is working successfully at the Advanced level, we suspect that her herding will be limited in the future to her own sheep at home.

Windy has produced well in the whelping box. In two Litters, she has produced multiple champions - including multiple Best in Puppy Sweepstakes and Best in Specialty show offspring. Many pups have performance titles in agility, rally and herding, with more to come! Still others are the center of their family's universe and exemplary companions. We are excited to share some of these pups with their families, and plan to have a Windy baby or grand baby with us for many, many years to come!

 

More important than any rosette or group placement though, is that Windy's temperament is second to none. She loves people of all ages and sizes, although she uses discretion when evaluating whether someone new is friend or potentially a foe. Windy was a therapy dog certified by Therapy Dogs International (TDI) and thoroughly enjoyed the regular visits that we made to nursing homes. Although there are no children living in our home, she loves kids and is very gentle with them. She is good with other dogs and has been evaluated as a "peacemaker." She has no noise sensitivity and is confident and inquisitive in new and unusual situations and on all types of footing. She has tons of "attitude" and definitely has a "naughty" side. She has a high ball drive and is motivated by food. She loves our cats and Border Terriers! Other than her insatiable craving for socks, she is easy to live with and settles nicely in the house.

Although graying a bit in the muzzle now, Windy is a beautiful bitch. At 22 1/4 inches tall, there is a lot in this package!

While we do realize that she is not without fault, her structure is excellent overall. She has an exceptional front and shoulders and a good rear. Her movement is clean coming and going and she has a good side gait with reach and drive covering ground effortlessly. She also has a solid, level top line when standing still or gaiting. Whether in a natural show stack or everyday life, she places each foot perfectly and stands naturally square - still! She has a very sweet and attentive expression. Her coat is thick and deep mahogany with a good deal of overlay, and she has dark, rich pigmentation. She has a full dentition, tight front scissors bite, but the occlusion on the upper right is slightly off.

She has an almond eye with pleasing color, although it could be darker. She has a nice tail set, with ample length, rarely carried above parallel to the top line (unless of course, she is feeling particularly full of herself!)

Windy has been a once in a lifetime dog. We are having a blast on our journey to helping her to achieve her full potential! Windy has excelled in everything we have asked her to do. She has been hindered only by OUR limitations, which we are still striving to overcome!

Windy is one of seven puppies from the Allstar "It's About Time" litter. Five puppies from the litter have completed AKC Championships, the sixth is pointed, and the seventh was spayed as a young puppy by the choice of her owners. There are HIC's, CGC's and TDI's in this litter. Other performance titles have been earned in herding and agility. All of the puppies were OFA'd with excellent or good ratings and CERF'd.
