Joanne's special Danny (Ch. Windrift's Dance To The Music) completed the requirements for the Hall of Fame title (pending KCA approval). Another 4th-generation HOF!
Utah, May 2010: Danny and Ariel's son Keeten (Windrift's Dancing On The River) pulled a hat trick at the Beehive Cluster, winning three majors! This pretty boy is only one year old, and the judges who put him up were some of the most respected in the game: James G. Reynolds, Joe Gregory, and Michele Billings. Keeten now has 13 points toward his championship, and should finish quickly. Keeten is handled solely by his owner, Associate member Scott Coleman.
Am/HK Ch. Windrift's Foreign Funds, owned by our overseas Associate member Angie Kwok, won another Group 1 and Reserve Best In Show at the Hong Kong Kennel Club. Also, a Group 2. He needs four more Best of Breeds to be the all time BOB winner in China.
NorCal Specialty, February 2010: This was another day of back-to-back specialties. Chaz, Windrift's Money Talks (Reed) earned Winners Dog in the morning for a major. Ch. Vanderblom Flaming June (Blom/DeWald) lit up the ring in her first outing as a special, and swept to Best Opposite Sex in both shows. Juju was beautifully handled by member (and professional handler) Adrian Ghione.
San Bernardino, January 2010: The Keeshond Club of Southern California held their two annual specialties back-to-back on the 29th. Ch. Windrift's Dance To The Music (Danny) won Best in Specialty Show at both specialties! Two new champions finished with major wins at the specialty -- Windrift's Right On The Money (Ama), and Vanderblom Flaming June. Big thrills for owners Karen O'Neil (Ama) and Chris Blom and Jeannine DeWald (Juju)!

Young hopeful Windrift's Coxswain Times Square, owned/handled by Jeannine DeWald, won his first points on Sunday at the Orange Empire Dog Club, with a 2-point win under judge Desmond J. Murphy
Ch. Vanderblom Flaming June
San Mateo, December 2009: Barb and Rich Ryan's BILL-E wrapped up the year with a bang by taking Winners Dog/Best of Winners three out of four days at the San Mateo Cluster. He won a Best of Breed from the Open class over a male special, and got himself a third major in the process! He won his last points on the last day, and is now Ch. Windrift's Follow The Money. From start to finish it took BILL-E less than six months to earn his title!

This is sire Gabriel's first step toward the Register of Merit.

Finally, Associate member Bonnie Hammond Brown writes that her boy Ooorah (Ch. Wild Winds Semper Fi) has been certified as a therapy dog. He even made the newspaper! Bonnie and Ooorah are great ambassadors for our breed.
