WINDROCK

I had the pleasure of watching Greyhounds show on Sat at the CKC shows. The Windrock entries clearly stood out as superior in quality and presentation. The woman handling the Windrock greys is a pro in every sense of the word and was the only one using a loose leash. She properly presents sighthounds. There was a big entry of greyhounds, and I found that I was disappointed with the overall quality. Watching most of the entry gait on the individual reminded me of GSD--loose elbows and legs everywhere. Is soundness even considered in breeding greyhounds? Only 3 dogs in the entry of 15 or so had true movements. One was a black and white special and the other two were the Windrock bitches.

The small red brindle Windrock bitch which did win the points was by far the most correct in the ring according to Standard. I would have given her Breed. The BBE bitch was also a Windrock and it was Reserve.

The puppy dogs were awful. Bone that would compliment a Clydesdale, coarse heads, huge ears, Poorly presented and training is in order. I would have dismissed most of them for lack of merit. The bitches had much more quality.

I was disappointed with the overall quality of the greyhounds, but the poor sportsmanship of greyhound exhibitors was disgraceful. I overheard comments. Typical bad loser syndrome. Bite your tongues people as you don't know just who may be listening.

Hello windrock people

I want to thank you for having such a beautiful website that has beautiful pictures and great information about greyhounds. I loved reading about Amber. I have a friend that saw Amber at the National and said that she blew them all away. Thank you for hosting such a nice page on the internet.

Kim, I am so glad that you got home safe. It was wonderful to see you and the

Colorado Crashers!!! Big congratulations on your impressive wins. Amber is a

great little dog and grabbed a very deserved win; she has years of great runs in

her and I bet she will produce great get. Of course I love Ayden but you sure

knew that. He is very agile and he can cover ground; his performance is

surprising for such a big guy. You did good Kiddo! Windrock is in the Winds

future, I am sure.

What a great day; I had a blast. I watched some very fine runs on a beautiful

field with challenging courses-drag lure too. SEGC did a great job. I was so

moved by John Parker's scattering Mike's ashes. Photographer Lee from Uma Rapiti

caught that moment is a series of phenomenal shots. Thank you Lee.

Anyway, Kim, I hope we won't have to wait another year to see you. My daughter

thought you were really cool. Again, congratulations, Greyhounds done right.

Athletic, beautiful and good tempered. You can't get much better than that.

My friend and I have adopted 3 retired racers from Midsouth Greyhound Adoption Option in Memphis, TN.  They are the best pets that anyone could adsk for.  The black female, Sierra, sure keeps her two bubbies, Chaser (gray) and Chip (white) in line.  Thanks for spreading the word on adoption--there is so many retired racers that need homes.

While showing my whippet at the Lompoc, CA shows in 2007, accompanied by my dear friend and Windrock greyhound owner, Jackie Vano, I was lucky enough to meet Kim and Colin Fritzler.  I was and remain impressed by how willing they both are to share what they've learned, in the many years of breeding, raising, training, exhibiting, coursing and loving their beautiful greyhounds.  Due to my dear friend Jackie's generosity, I have become a co-owner of one of Ayden and Whisper's baby from their first litter, "The WILD Bunch".  Knowing Kim and Colin's dogs have completely changed my feelings about greyhounds.  From being around greyhounds at dog shopws, I always was drawn to their beauty, but was put off by their aloofness and what seemed to be disinterest in people.  Knowing Jackie's windrock hounds, and especially our "OREO" aka Windrock Wild Card, has completely changed my mind!

Their dogs have tremendous personalities and are extremely loving and personable...even to strangers!

Having been involved with showing dogs for 25 years, you experience all sorts of personalities.  Kim and Colin are completely committed to providing the absolute best for their hounds, which includes making the best matches to each situation..the key to successful dog-to-human relationships.

As responsible breeders, the Fritzlers stand in a class by themselves!
