2022 Canadian Specialty - Winsome's Winnings

The Inaugural Canadian Specialty

Winsome trooped north to Airdrie, Alberta, Canada and NavyRose Kennel to show at the Canadian Silken Windhound Society’s inaugural Canadian Specialty.  Wow, they did an amazing job and we were so impressed with how well it was all handled.

Winsome did very well at the show and took home a lot of beautiful ribbons and fabulous prizes.

Show 1 - Judge Merla Thomspson

  • Olive – She won her class and took Reserve Winner’s Bitch
  • Kenan – He won his class, took Winner’s Dog, and was chosen Best of Winners.  This finished his ISWS Championship!
  • Drifter – He received the best honor of all and won Best in Show.  What an honor for him to get as his 10th birthday present.  Drifter also won Best Stud Dog with Mipha and Yuna showing as his progeny.
  • Katherine – She won Brood Bitch with Mipha and Yuna showing as her progeny.
  • Friends – Maia and Dante won the Canadian Bred Class and went on to get Reserve Winner’s Dog!  Pauline and Podzol won the Field Performance Champion class (a triumph for a dog who does not like to show, haha).

Show 2 - Judge Valerie Hansen

  •  Katherine – She won her class, took Winner’s Bitch, was chosen Best of Winners, and Best of Opposite.  Katherine also won Brood Bitch with Mipha and Yuna showing as her progeny.
  • Drifter – He won Best Stud Dog with Mipha and Yuna showing as her progeny.
  • Patty – She won Best Veteran with Leah showing her perfectly.
  •  Kenan – He moved up to show with the other ISWS Champions and received Best in Show.
  • Friends – Pauline and Quila won their show and went on to get Reserve Winner’s Bitch!
