Windwalker Memorial Trophy
Every canine enthusiast should shave the privilege of sharing time with one of the “special ones”. In 1990 that happened to Janie Hale when Windwalker joined the other two Pharaoh Hounds in their family. Windwalker was an AKC Bench Champion. There was never a problem getting his big ears to stand erect in the show ring because he was highly motivated when it came to food. He loved to lure course and was one of the 1st USRCC Hounds to achieve an ASFA FCH and AKC Senior Courser. One of the things Janie was most proud of was his Tracking Dog Title. He was either the first or second Pharaoh Hound to achieve a TD title. Using both sight and scent made him a phenomenal tracker that delighted the spectators and judges at the trials.
What a great 12 years the Hale family had. Where ever they traveled Windwalker was an ambassador for his breed. He was always the center attraction at the grade school classes, on the field with Janie's nephews’ soccer team, and at the World Senior Games or while acting as co-pilot in the RV. A friend that traveled with us in the RV to trials and shows said of Windwalker----“He’s so smart he’s scary.” Along with his daughter Hakuna , Windwalker led the pack in making sure they got extra food by opening microwaves, fridges and yes even ovens.
