Whats in a name~ Aeracura
Aeracura, pronounced air- a- Cure- a, is the name of a Celtic goddess. The Goddess of blossoming, rebirth, and rediscovering.
This has had great symbolic relevance to myself and my life over the years and this unique and growing breed.
I have been involved in this breed since 2005, when I got my first silken and have seen the breed and the community come a long way, from limited opportunities to ASFA acceptance, UKC acceptance, all the way to the doorway of AKC FSS acceptance in the spring of 2026. During this time I went through a divorce with two young children, went back to school and received a bachelors degree, started a career, raised my two children through college themselves and into adulthood. So many challenges, so much change, personal rebirth, and rediscovering.
I am a current member of the Silken Windhound Health and Rescue Organization as the recording secretary and I have previously served on the International Parent Club’s board of directors. My passion for the breed extends well beyond my own program in these roles and serving as the national health testing chair helping to organize and or run health clinics at our nationals since 2007.
