Nyxi breeding exam

Nyxi  passed her breeding exam with flying colours, the judges praised her beautiful body, nice substance, good movement and really nice, steady calm character. We also tested her hips which are a perfect A, so we are now looking forward for some puppies when she is ready!

Summer - Show success

It's time for show again! Our English princess Nyxi - Gemheid Light of My Life  has hit the show ring after the break and she's been winning all summer!

June - July 2015 Girls from C litter are leaving for the new homes

Also our C litter is growing up. The first to move into a new home was our Emi, who is now called Lori. She lives with her uncles Messi, a silver boy from our A litter.

 



The second was Rhea, who went to Switzerland with her super mum Amy. She now lives at the kennel Collies Von Schinznacherweiler.

    

     


The last one to leave home was our little crazy hurricane Ria, she moved to Italian Tuscany with her incredible mum Caterina. She lives with a little mixed girl and with another collie girl Babi.

     



Our silver beauty Paikea stayed with her mum Mei and lives in co ownership with family Zrimšek. She looks the most like her famous daddy Legend and I am so happy we can keep her. She has a wonderful character and the most amazing silver blue colour. She stayed at Windy Lands for a few weeks and we had a lot of fun with her.

 

 

  

28 July 2015 Windy Lands family meeting at Cerknica Lake

We spent a lovely day in the company of puppies from our 3 litters and their owners and some other collie friends. We met Messi and Mei from our A litter,  Natti, Kai, Tara and Lani from B litter and Pai and Lori from C litter. Thank you Irena for bringing our special girl Nyxi and for all these lovely photos. 

April- June 2015 Babies from B litter are leaving for new homes

Our puppies are already 9 weeks old. Time really flew and it is time for them to move into their new homes. I thought it would be easier with the second litter, but it's just as hard, if not harder. All the puppies have such wonderful cuddly characters and it is really heartbreaking to say goodbye to them. But I am also happy as they all got wonderful new homes and are making their new owners happy. 

The first to leave Windy Lands was our black princess Dream. She now lives with a 12 year old girl Barbara, they go to a dog school, are already training for shows and are overall taking a wonderful care of our girl. We visited them in their home in Ljubljana and later also on holidays in Kobarid. The girls recognized each other straight away and played for hours.

The second to find a lovely new home was Siyah, who is now called Sia. She lives with a nice family only half an hour from here, so we see each other a lot. They have two small children who adore her and we all go to a puppy school together with Tara and Lani. The girls are always very happy to see eachother.  

   The first boy who left Windy Lands was my very special boy Kai. He is the cuddliest and sweetest of them all. He would always come into my lap and stay there for hours. I think my friend Gordana is the only one who I would entrust that special baby. She had 2 collies before and is such a loving person. Kai now lives with her, his big brother Badi and Gordana's lovely family in Ptuj. He goes to a puppy school too and already knows many tricks. I visited him two times already and he is always beyond happy to see me and his sisters. Kai is co owned and will be shown by me.

The next boy who moved into a new home was our special baby Sid. He also is super cuddly and lovely and he is very special also due to his unique markings. Every visitor first noticed him and he was my mum's favourite:) He now lives at the Slovenian seaside with 3 lovely children and a big sister Lassie:)

Natti stayed with us for 3 months and I got really attached to her. She is not only amazingly cuddly, loving, outgoing and brave but also has such a wonderful face and expression. I was very picky and selective as to who to entrust my special beauty but when Boštjan came to visit, I saw it was love at her first sight. So also Natti moved to Ptuj, to live close to her brother Kai. She now lives with Boštjan and a big brother Jack.  I spent a wonderful weekend with them all and I know I did the right decision sending Natti to Boštjan and Kai to Gordana.

   My special babygirl Tara stayed with us for almost 4 months as her owner Danijel was moving house. She now lives only 20 min away from us and visits us often. She is co owned and will be shown and bred by me. We are always happy to have her back at Windy Lands, her sisters and mum adore her.

The last to leave home was our most impressive boy, Neel. With my dear friend Katarina Petrič (kennel Aydeen) we took him to Munich to meet his new mummy, Karen Jondahl. It was so wonderful to meet this famous dog breeder who is such a nice and lovely woman. We also had the chance to meet the spectacular Basil - World Winner Shep's Gonzages Que Guapo. So Neel now lives with Karen and her Shep's collies in Denmark. He slept during the entire road trip just as Lani did as I took her with us to Munich to keep Neel company. I am really thrilled by these puppies easy going, open, fearless characters.

Neel be happy in your new home, we miss you terribly at Windy Lands!

8 May 2015 Sad day at Windy Lands

  Today our little Pika from C litter lost her fight. She got water in her lungs during a difficult birth and she was fighting hard for a month and it seemed like she was going to make it...the owners of Mei were incredible, doing everything in their power to save her. She lived to be one month old and we really believed she would pull through...but her little heart gave out today. We are all so sad...sleep tight, little angel and run free with my first collie, Gaja, and their first collie, Rhea ♥ You will live in our hearts forever!

 22. January 2015  We expect puppies end of Febuary!

    After a 3 year break, we feel it's time for puppies again! Our frist litter was a bit difficult due to our little, prematurely born baby Lia. It was really exausting saving her, but Lia has grown into a wonderful, happy, energetic girl, who really appreciates her life and knows how to enjoy it and have fun. She is our little sunshine who brightens our days. I will never regret my decision of saving her!

Our 'mummy' Sky had a date with a fabulous young male Jett on a Christmas day and her pregnancy was confirmed today! He carriers the best of Wicani lines, mixed with some old American Van M lines. He is not only strinkingly beautiful, but also has the most wonderful, loving, warm, happy, active and brave character and is a very strong, healthy boy. They were crazy about each other so I can't wait to see their babies end of February 2015.
