Galasso > CHIEFTAINS GERMAN SHEPHERDS > Visit my website at http://chieftainsgermanshepherds.com > SANTANA GERMAN SHEPHERDS..... My Kennel name came from the " Santana Winds' that blow across Southern California..( similar to the Sirocco Winds) . I was born a fortunate 2nd generation Native Southern Californian and heard early on, about when the Fire warning was out ,because the Santa Ana Winds , were in the forecast. The Native Southern Californians called them " The Santana Winds.".. that's where my Kennel Name came from in the 1954's... SANTANA... Long before the Musical Group, SANTANA, which I really like as well!!! .Barb Williams ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
