Happy 10th birthday to a very special girl - my Sky. A whole new
journey started when she entered my world all these years ago and

January 4, 2018, our second sable/tri litter was born in a co own home in Ljubljana. The dam is our black beauty Dream (Be My Sp'Icy Dream of the Windy Lands) and the sire is the handsome Billy (CH Blowing in the Windy Bill of Kassiopeia)! 
The babies are growing up at Dream's owners in Ljubljana under my
mentorship and guidance and they will be, as all of our litters,
raised with the help of the Puppy Culture program (better immune
system, more stable character, better response to stress,
housebroken, very well socialized and lead and clicker trained
already when going into a new home). Dream is a lovely tricolour
sister to my superstar Lani (multi jch, CH, multi BOB, jbiss Beyond
Limits ), to the mother of our current G litter Tara (jch Black
Swan), to our handsome blue boy Kai (multi jch Bejewelled Sky) and
our Danish boy Neel (jch Born to Impress). All these beautiful
collies are children of my fantastic Silver beauty Sky (SLOVCH,
CROCH, SLOVvetCH, vet club bis3 A Blue Pearl) and half siblings to
our top winning collie, the Finnish boy Damon (MULTI, INTER CH
Absolute Dynamite). The father to be, Billy, comes from the lovely
old Kassiopeia lines and he has some very nice attributes I would
like to blend with my line (nice movement, superb mahogany sable
colour, great tail carriage, sweet expression, very nice and gentle
nature). If you are interested in a puppy from this litter, please
pm me, the waiting list is filling up fast!
We have 4 sable males Hear the Whisper of the Windy Lands, Hit the Road (Jack) of the Windy Lands, Heart Stealer of the Windy Lands in Hidden Treasure of the Windy Lands
and 3 tricolor girls: Honey n Spice of the Windy Lands, Havanna Sunset of the Windy Lands in Hopes n Dreams of the Windy Lands.
One tri girl and 2 sable boys are still available. For all info, write me at windylands@gmail.com. Our first, A litter, is already 6 years old. Happy birthday to my special, sunny girl Lia, to her sister Mei and her brothers Damon, Messi and Tai ♥♥♥♥♥
Our Finnish stud boy Damon (Absolute Dynamite of the Windy Lands) is now also an Estonian ch, winning CC at a show in Estonia. Big congrats to his owner Teija Ukkola!
Our first sable and tri litter was born November 9th. We got a perfect symmetry - 2 sable girls, 1 tri girl, 2 tri boys and 1 sable boy. The delivery was super fast and easy, Tara is an amazing mum (just as her super mum Sky) and the puppies are doing great! The beautiful parents of the litter are Tara - JCH Black Swan of the Windy Lands and Stigu - inter, multi CH Skabona Oriental Style. Thank you dear Teija Ukkola for letting me use your gorgeous boy and to my dear friend Katarina Petrič for bringing the wonderful Stigu to Slovenia and for all the help!
The litter is growing up at Tara's
co-owner Danijel's home under
my menthorship and help.
They are raised with the help of the 'Puppy Culture'
program.
Both Stigu and Tara have wonderful temperaments, they are very friendly with people and other dogs, very active, smart and very brave. For all the info, write me at windylands @ gmail.com

We are so proud of our Dark Prince and we know there is a bright future ahead of him! His owner also tested his hips and he is AA.

His sister Lina Dream in Blue of the Windy Lands finished her Croatian junior championships as well and her hips are a perfect AA too. Big congrats to her owner Sandra Cerjak! We are planning a fantastic litter with Lina nextt year, so stay tuned for more!
Their mother Nyxi - Gemheid Light of My Life came back into a show ring after the maternity leave and she has matured fabulously! She has finished her Croatian and Slovenian Championship in no time and also won a few cacibs on the way.
Also my special Silver Lady Sky did me so amazingly proud this summer season! She used to dislike shows so it took us a real long time, but we never gave up and Sky is now finally a Slovenian Champion!! I gained a lot of experience in showing in the last few years and I am not nervous in a ring as I used to be so Sky relaxed as well and realized showing is nothing bad, in fact she started enjoying it so much that she not only finished her Slo Ch, but she also did her Veteran Slovenian Championship in just a few shows, toping it with winning BOB veteran and BIS3 Veteran at our Special show in Lipica! I am so incredibly proud of my wonderful girl!
And last but certainly not the least, our wonderful Damon, Sky's most successful son - Absolute Dynamite of the Windy Lands, who has become my first homebred INTERNATION CHAMPION and he did it with style, winning BEST OF BREED in Finland out of 74 collies! I am so incredibly proud of him and his owner Teija Ukkola!
In the begining of May, during a big storm with
loud thunder
and lightining, the puppy from our F litter was born. We named him

Once a year we organize a picnic with the puppies of our kennel. Since Neo is the only one in the litter and looks very promising, we would prefer a show/breeding home for him, but it primary has to be a loving family home - no kennels and no selling forward. We are looking a forever home for him! For all the info, write me at windylands@gmail.com

Hard to express
how happy I was when the vet confirmed the pregnancy of my beloved
babygirl Lani - Ch Beyond Limits of the Windy Lands! She is 'Beyond'
everything I have ever dreamt of - not only amazingly beautiful,
sweet, smart, lively, energetic, cuddly and super successful at
shows but now also expecting babies to a stunning young male -
Lidok's The Best Yet to Come, son of the legendary 'Multi, Inter Ch
Steadwyn Blue Legend' and Ch Lidok's Jazzy Jigsaw. I am so excited
about this combination and can hardly wait to meet the little ones
in the beginning of May. Both parents exceed in looks and character
and are DM free, Cea clinically free and have AA hips. This litter
will be born at my home, so they are extra special to me! My dogs
and my puppies are family to me so we only sell our puppies into
forever family homes as beloved family members, not just as breeding
stock!
My wonder girl Lani - Beyond Limits of the Windy Lands added one more title to her super successful show career - only 2 days after her 2nd birthday she closed also her Croatian Championship with excellent 1, CAC, CACIB and BOS and Crufts qualified under English judge Jeff Horswell at IDS Rijeka. I am always having amazing fun with her in the ring as she loves it so much! She is now a Slovenian junior CH, Croatian Junior CH, Croatian CH, Croatian junior Club ch '15, junior club biss winner, junior BOG winner and adult BOG winner. She now needs only her time CACIB for the inter ch and one more CAC to finish also her Slovenian CH.
I am so proud also of our young boy, Eros - Dashing Raven Knight of the Windy Lands (IntCH One Extraordinary Blu di Cambiano x JCH Gemheid Light of My Life, imp. Uk) who continues his successful show career also in Croatia. He was shown at IDS Rijeka under the judge Jeff Horswell, UK and got exc. 1, JCAC, JBOB and was Crufts qualified. He is not only dashingly handsome, but also has a wonderful, loving, very brave character. He is is owned by Katarina Petrič and Anja Gavez.
Happy 2nd birthday to my very special B litter - my fantastic girl
Lani, who is my dream come true and who brightens my days here at
Windy Lands and to her brothers Kai (co-owned with Gordana
Lešnik),
Neel (loved by Karen
Jondahl and
her Shep's collies), Sid (loved by Petra
Šavle)
and sisters Tara (co-owned by Danijel
Bandelj),
Dream (loved by Barbara
Kovač),
Sia (loved by Damjana
Dolanc and Robi

and Natii (loved by Jack
Pa Natti andTjaša
Cenčič).
My Lani is not only
my most perfect companion but also a fantastic show girl - she is
already a Slovenian junior ch, Croatian Junior ch, Croatian junior
Club ch '15, junior club biss winner, junior Bog winner and adult
BOG winner. She needs only her time cacs to complete also her adult
slo and cro championships.
Our handsome boy Kai is a Slovenian junior ch, Croatian Junior ch,
Croatian junior Club ch '15 and Zagreb j winner '15.
Our beauty Tara is a Slovenian junior Champion and a Slovenian
junior club ch '16. Our very special Danish boy Neel is a Danish junior Champion.
So 4 out of 8 puppies are already junior champions, the other four
are enjoying their lives with their families as loving family
members.
Our beautiful girl Mei - SLO jCH, SLO CH, CRO CH A Sweet Lullaby of the Windy Lands (Essanjay Encore x A Blue Pearl of the Windy Lands) had a date with a stunning young male Shiro - HUN jCH Marvalan The Rainmaker (Wicani Leading Light x Wicani Lights of Amethyst). It was love at first sight - Mei surely has a good taste:) I chose Shiro because I love his looks, his character and his pedigree - he combines some of the best old Wicani lines! He is also one of the best movers I have ever seen and I admire his clear blue colour and his amazingly strong bone and superb angulations, not to mention his wonderful head with a sweet and dignified expression. Thank you dear Katalin Tóth for letting me use him and for all the help in this little project! And of course to the co-owners of Mei, family Zrimšek, for wanting puppies and helping out big time! If all goes well the puppies should be born in the middle of April.
We took our youngsters Coco and Eros to Celje and they were wonderful! They won j cc both days, each won j BOB one day and they both became junior Winter winners! The judges were Maja and Darko Korošec.
I showed my very special silver lady Sky in a veteran class for the first time and she did me so proud my winning excellent 1, BOS veteran winner, BOB veteran winner, CLUB veteran winner and finally BIS3 veteran club winner!
