Azure at 12 months.......Photo by CrystalB Photography
Azure started her life with seven brothers on Kristull Ranch in Bowling Green, KY.
She was our very first Silken Windhound. She was an only dog-child for three months
before Dior and Sahara joined our pack.
Azure is very versatile and likes to do many activities such as Agility, Lure Coursing,
Obedience, Rally-O and Straight Racing.
Azure started lure coursing on April 11, 2010 (at one year) and attained her
Intermediate Courser title 5 weeks later. She has enjoyed the lure since her first
practice at NW Fest 2009 held at Allagante Silkens.
Azure likes to play chase, cuddle, hog all the toys, bask in the sun and is the self-
designated fun police. She does not like skateboards, scooters, or for our turtles to
move. She will go out and watch the turtles very carefully and bark them back into
the water.
She promptly tucks herself into bed no later than 9:00 P.M.
Azure is a sweetheart who brings us joy everyday.
Azure entered her Rally Novice title on March 13, 2011. She took first place in the Novice A class. She is the first Silken Windhound to be titled in Rally-Obedience. She earned her first two legs in Rally Advanced April 2 & 3, 2011 and earned her first leg in Obedience on April 2, 2011. Azure earned her third leg in Rally Advanced and earned her title (RA) on April 8, 2012. She became the second Silken to do so, Sahara beating her by about 5 minutes since she was in the ring before Azure. Azure placed 3rd overall and Sahara was fourth. 09/30/12. Azure became the first Silken to earn a qualifying leg in Rally Excellent and earned 1st place. She has since earned another leg and needs one more to earn her Rally Excellent.

Azure also has a qualifying run in Novice Jumpers Agility. We have
entered both her and Sahara in trials but with our busy schedules
have decided to emphasize obedience and rally first and then we'll
concentrate on agility. In agility they need to be able to work on both
sides and not in heel position.
