This trophy will be awarded at Silkenfest annually to a Silken Windhound that excels both in Lure Coursing & in Conformation. My Bados (ISWS CH, ICKC Int l CH, UKC GrCh Allagante Windspirit Barbados ISWS FCh, LCM, SRC, ORC, ASFA FCh) excelled in many arenas; his breeder described him as an everything dog. He earned multiple titles in both performance & conformation before his 4th birthday. Among all these talents, Bados forte was lure coursing. He made the ASFA top 20 in 2010 after only 3 months of competition. For the breed, he was ranked #1 by ASFA in 2011, #2 in 2012, #3 at the time of his death this past October. He even finished 2013 ranked at #7. Bados was ISWS 4th Lure Courser of Merit out of only 5 or 6 in the breed, and currently he is #2 on ASFA s Lifetime Top 20 list of Silkens. Bados also did well in racing, but his 2nd greatest strength was his beauty. Despite his owner s inexperience in the show ring (he was my 1st show dog), he earned titles within every organization that he was shown and was one of UKC s top 10 Silkens in 2011 without attending any UKC shows outside of the Pacific Northwest. This combination of excellence in conformation & performance is a strength of the Silken Windhound in contrast to many breeds. This confluence of form & function is important & should be a standard we strive to maintain. In light of this, the Allagante Windspirit Barbados Memorial Trophy will honor such dogs. This trophy will be for the ISWS Ch that is ranked highest with ASFA in the preceding year. Details can be found in the Silkenfest catalog. After Bados died in a tragic accident while lure coursing last October, I was touched and honored by the several people who approached me independently to propose that there be a perpetual trophy in his honor. I was again honored that the ISWS BOD agreed and that donations were made by many members, friends, and family to make this a reality.
