Shows
Each year, the International Windsprite Club holds several Major Specialty Shows where fanciers exhibit their dogs in Conformation and compete in Rally, Agility, and Straight Racing. These are wonderful opportunities for the community to come together to recognize and celebrate the Windsprite breed. Read more about our IWC shows on the Events page.
Historically, IWC shows have been limited to the region surrounding the geographical location of the breed's origin in the Northeastern United States. As the breed community grows and spreads nationwide, there are new opportunities for dedicated club members to propose new Regional Specialty Shows and Match Shows in their areas. The details of this new process can be found at the link below.
