& BIF winning Greyhounds!
An Introduction . . . where we are located
Linus is one of our field bred English Springer Spaniels. A superb huntress, she is a tireless upland game dog and is steady as they come. | WINDROCK is located near Grand Junction which lies on the Western Slope of Colorado, a high desert mountainous area that typically enjoys mild weather year around. Our home base is situated 30 miles east of the Utah border and within minutes of the Palisade region which is famous for its peaches and wineries. WINDROCK owns fertile acreage that once was part of an Arabian Horse farm. Our dogs keep themselves fit and in hard muscle condition owing to hours of endless play in the freedom of spacious tree shaded grass paddocks. The Greyhounds love to torment the occasional wild life that trespasses through our pastures by yelling insults from the safety of their fenced enclosures. A wide variety of fruit trees are found on our property and if we are lucky we might get some of the produce before the birds, critters and greyhounds eat all of it! We are adjacent to the famous Greystone Winery and Vineyards. A favorite pastime enjoyed by WINDROCK greyhounds involves racing along the fence and criticizing the work of the people tending to the vineyards. These hard working guys love our dogs and frequently share their lunches with them. The fine mulie buck photographed here is a frequent visitor. He is fearless and eats with the steers, much to the chagrin of our greyhounds who the deer totally ignores.

The people behind WINDROCK
Kimberly A Fritzler is the person on the end of the leash. She trains and conditons the WINDROCK greyhounds and has owner handled our dogs to many Best in Show wins and #1 rankings. Kim has a BA from UW and has won national awards with her wildlife art. | Meet Colin R. Fritzler! He is the patient man who drives the Greyhounds to all of the fun events and is the DAD to all of our dogs. He spoils them rotten and they all like him the best--especially at Cookie Time. I tease poor Colin mercilessly, by telling him that he is the reason our kids are ugly! Colin went to the University of Wyoming and studied Architectural Design. He considered Frank Loyd Wright an inspiration. Colin designed and helped construct many custom homes in Laramie, Wyoming. Colin and I first met at the famous Cowboy Bar in Laramie when I beat him at a game of pool! We have been married almost 30 years.

Our Dogs Travel In Style
We think the greyhounds throw wild parties enroute as we often find the radio cranked up on high volume blaring Rap or Neal Boortz and poker chips and playing cards turn up in the strangest places! | This is the WINDROCK Ride! The old veterans get to ride up in the van. The youngsters who don't care for our choice of Solid Gold Country tunes ride in big comfy padded crates in air conditioned comfort in the trailer.

Our house--the greyhounds spend more time in it than we do!
 |  |  |
In 2001 this very energy-efficient house was designed and built by Colin Fritzler whose training and extensive building experience in solar design allowed him to incorporate many of his design skills in the construction of our new South-Western style residence. It was specifically built to accommodate our greyhounds! The custom residence features in-floor heating and dyed concrete floors. So when somebody goofs and spills something, it is very easy to clean up. Power bills on the house in 2007 did not exceed $62.00 a month!--and that was for January!! There are lots of big windows fashionably decorated with dog nose prints. With over 2500 feet, there is lots of room for us and the friends the greyhounds invite over.
Life is good at WINDROCK!
After Play Time--we sleep!
All that hard play can wear a greyhound out! Greyhounds are creatures of comfort and although we allow sleeping on the bed -we try to keep them from getting under the covers. We draw the line at them helping themselves to the Frig! |
