Poor Marti
Please note the date of Marti Bradford's passing of November 24, 2005. Note the date these Windrock breedings and/or co-breedings and/or owner/co-ownerships were placed by a rescue organization: November and December 2004. This is an entire YEAR before her passing allowing for ample time for the co-owner/co-breeder to take these dogs back, ie: Windrock Reg'd, Kim and Colin Fritzler.
Windrock's own admission indicates they were "friends" and co-owners and were on terms well before she passed. See below.
Additionally, Windrock has plastered on her Windrock web site that "We always will accept the return of any dog/bitch our breeding program produces." So is this false advertising or is this dumping Greyhounds in an accomplice, Elaine Summerhill, non-Greyhound Club of America, member's Greyhound "rescue" behind the secret Windrock doors? Did Windrock forge the signatures off the AKC papers on any of the dogs they still co-owned at the time of Marti's death?
Windrock's written words on Marti Bradford found at:
(http://www.freerangewhippets.com/Marti_pagetwo.htm)
but copied in full below in case Fritzler changes it like she does so many of her pages when she's busted for lying:
Remembering Marti:
Will be a simple task, because to me, she hasn't left. Not a day goes by that I do not fail to savor a quiet reflection of Marti and what she might think or say. Such moments usually come when I am contemplating the merits of a gangly youngster out in one of our paddocks. I can almost hear her, "Yes, he's loose there in front, but give him time, he'll come around . . . or yes, she's small, but Sugar, she's got it where it counts." Marti's intuition on such matters was rarely amiss.
Of simple, down-home upbringing myself, Marti's unwavering honesty and refusal to comprise her personal integrity were a refreshing change from what I had come to expect of many in the dog show fancy. We saw eye to eye on many issues, but could disagree without being disagreeable on others. Marti never sugar -coated a thing. I liked that. A person always knew where they stood with her, and she darn sure wasn't shy about calling you out on the carpet, if the occasion called for it.
She bred some wonderful greyhound dogs, One was the highly campaigned and promoted Ch Gerico's Chasing The Wind. Pity that so many of that dog's advertisements failed to credit Marti as a co-breeder. Another white dog of note was Ch Martigra's Cupid's Beau, a dog that Marti allowed me a co-ownership in and in return, I gave her a co-ownership in a rather understated, plain little brindle dog that she saw as a youngster and was instantly enamored by what she alone foresaw. You know, she was the only person that recognized early on something special about the dog known as Barcelona. It was a source of great satisfaction to Marti when Barc did indeed fulfill her prophecy and become not only a multiple BIS/SBIS winner, but the #1 greyhound dog two years running. I will never forget Marti's unfailing belief in that little dog--or in me.
Upon learning of Marti's affliction with terminal cancer, my husband Colin and I made a point of attending the 2005 Southern Specialty. We knew it would be the last time either of us would ever get to see her alive. How wonderful that the Fates allowed Marti's breeding a resounding success that day--each dog shown by it's person, swept well- nigh all the major awards, SBIS, WB,BOW, RWB, BISweeps and Brood Bitch!! Seeing her bask in the glory of that specialty triumph, not yielding to a frail body ravaged by the cancerous demon within her--I know now, there is for sure, a God. For He allowed Marti, that one final victory in the arena that she so reverently adored. That is the memory of Marti I will hold dearest for the remainder of my days.
I know not the Author to credit the following, but I think these words are appropriate.
WHAT CANCER CANNOT DO
Cancer is so limited . . .
It cannot cripple Love
It cannot shatter Hope
It cannot corrode Faith
It cannot destroy Peace
It cannot kill Friendship
It cannot suppress memories
It cannot silence Courage
It cannot invade the Soul
It cannot conquer the Spirit.
Good-bye Marti, I was privileged to know you and call you my Friend.

Windrock Has An "Open Door" Policy On Rescue Dogs
Windrock has been involved in dog rescue long BEFORE we ever bred AKC dogs. We celebrate the 150 plus dogs we have assisted in re-homing. In addition to fostering and offering dogs for adoption, WINDROCK also transports rescue dogs at NO CHARGE . Our lastest precious transport was "Millie" the Sheltie who got to ride with the Windrock Crew from Grand Junction to Salt Lake City! Do not hesitate to contact us if we can be of service to assist a dog or dogs in need . . . windrock@bresnan.net
Our Greyhounds are sold with written guarantees of health and quality. We actively mentor and support our puppy buyers for the entire life time of the dog.
9. WINDROCK will sell breeding prospects to knowledgeable and ethical persons and we are willing to help educate and guide novices by mentoring. We always will accept the return of any dog/bitch our breeding program produces and will always help rehome or transport other greyhounds in need.
11. WINDROCK does not sell, supply, donate or surrender any dog for which they are responsible to a pet shop, catalogue house, wholesale dealer in dogs, Humane Society, or nondiseased dogs to a laboratory.
