ISWS, IABCA, ICKC Ch. Kristull Daiquiri
Our first Silken Windhound
Our first Silken Windhound
Morgandell Kennels has raised and shown Borzoi since 1970. In 2007 Cyndi accepted the opportunity to judge BooFest and fell in love with Silken Windhounds. Having held a long standing interest the Borzoi had filled my home full, but after watching these charming little dogs racing around the fenced showgrounds all getting along, a love was born. Bill and I are in Grass Valley, CA approximately halfway between Reno, NV and Sacramento, CA
Soon after Kristull Daiquiri came to us from Chris Swilley and Francie Stull.
She filled our home and hearts for 4 years prior to her untimely death. Her children grace homes in the Pacific Northwest, Germany and Canada.

Sasha sired a litter for us in 2020 out of Summerstar's Brown Sugar our Sivi sister Bianca.
Clarrisa's (also a Top Ten winner herself) son, Sasha is a beautiful little boy with a big coat and a big personality. He's game for the challenge if ever more shows get scheduled for Northern California.
