Am/Can Ch Northwind’s Cresta Run
de Sud
"Cresta"
Cresta gets her unusal name out of respect and gratitude to Cresta
Lee, the animal control officer from Cayce, SC. She helped trap
Poetry, Cresta's mother, in a live trap to end her 25 days on the
run while being pregnant with Cresta and eight other puppies. Click
on Poetry for the whole story
on of this amazing adventure and safe return.
At just a year old Cresta had
compiled an amazing record:
10 points, both majors from puppy and bred
by with two group placements
Canadian Championship from the puppy class,
with two group placements.

Championship in December of 2003.
In August of 2004 she finished
her show championship easily with three majors.
| An excerpt from Pam Murphy’s
specialty sweeps critique from August of 2003: “Simply
put, she is beautiful, she has elegance, curves, neck, lovely
dark eyes and is extremely sound. To top that all off, she has
that perfect little Whippet bitch attitude that made it very
clear that she is too cute and she knows it!" |

were two boys and two girls - if you'd like to see baby photos,
