Am/Can Ch Spring Fever de Sud x Am/Can Ch Northwind's
Stormin' Norma CD, LCM, CGC, CAV
These photos were taken when four weeks old. The puppies were VERY
uncooperative, so the photos are merely meant to show color and
markings. For a pedigree, click here.
If you're wondering about the names, I always give them a temporary
name until their new owner decides their permanent name. It also
helps me and potential owners talk about the puppies - I just get
mixed up calling them male one and two... Since the dam is Stormin'
Norma, and we are Northwind, all the puppies are named for various
winds found worldwide. Six girls, two boys. Ladies are shown first.

 |
"Bali" - A strong east wind at the
eastern end of Java.
She has asymmetrical face markings - dark brindle on the
non show side and white on the show side. She is fawn brindle
with tons of white - looks like she's wearing pants. |
 |
 |
"Chinook" - A type of foehn wind.
Refers to the warm downslope wind in the Rocky Mountains that
may occur after an intense cold spell when the temp could
rise by 20 to 40 degrees in a matter of minutes. Also known
as the Snow Eater.
She has asymmetrical face markings with the dark brindle
being on the show side. The non-show side is completely white
except for some color on the ear. She is wearing brindle pants
on the show side. |

"Maria" - A fictional wind popularized
in "Paint Your Wagon" and by the Kingston Trio,
whose name may have originated with the 1941 book "Storm"
by George Stewart.
This is the typical marking that I get - white blaze on the
face, full white neck and brindle covering most of the body.
Four white feet, white chest and white tip of the tail. She
looks very much like her mother. She is the most adventurous
so far - first one to escape the whelping box. |
 |
 |
"Sumatra" - A squall with violent
thunder, lighting, and rain, which blows at night in the Malacca
Straits, especially during the southwest monsoon. It is intensified
by strong mountain breezes.
Other than the single spot on the top of her head and color
on the right ear, she is white back to the shoulders. The
rest of the body is dark fawn brindle, four white feet, white
tip to the tail and white chest. The little spot of white
on the hip will most likely disappear over time. |
 |
 |
"Williwaw" - A sudden blast of wind
descending from a mountainous coast to the sea, in the Strait
of Magellan or the Aleutian Islands.
She has asymmetrical face markings - brindle on the show
side. She has several patches of fawn brindle color on the
body and color that starts to go down her tail, but there
is a horizontal white line across it. Color again on the rear
show side leg. |
 |
 |
"Zephyr" - The ancient Greek name
for the west wind, which generally is light and beneficial.
A soft, gentle breeze.
She has a blaze on her face and more brindle that the others,
limited to the body area. Legs and feet are white. |
 |
 |
"Boreas" A ancient greek name for
north winds blowing from the Hungarian basin into the Adriatic
Sea.
He has asymmetrical face markings with white on the show
side. Color on the show side ear and patches of fawn brindle
on the body. He has a funny spot right at the top of the tail
and he looks like he's partially wearing pants. |
 |
 |
"Pampero" - A west or southwest wind
in Southern Argentina. This wind (often violently) picks up
during the passage of a cold front of an active low passing
by.
He has color over one eye and just touching the other. A
funny spot center of the top of his head and then all white
except for wearing fawn brindle pants.
