Lavandels Vindur (above center) at the Calgary shown by his owner/handler. Vindur earned his Championship title on Friday under a European judge who has actually judged Icelandic sheepdogs! He was then shown as special on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. He won on Monday again as well. Vindur is shown at right at 7 weeks of age.
