 The Silken Windhound is the result of the hard work and vision of breed founder Francie Stull, breeder of more than 200 Champion Borzoi under the kennel name Kristull, to create a medium sized, athletic, family-oriented, coated sighthound. The Silken Windhound today is an ideal sporting companion for those wanting the elegance and athleticism of a sighthound, with the protective addition of a silky coat, and a smaller size than any other long coated sighthound. Typically a long lived breed, Silken Windhounds are active and healthy into their late teens, with the oldest known Silken living to enjoy her 20th birthday. Stull’s decades long breeding program focused on bringing together some of the best aspects of several show and coursing Borzoi lines from some of the top U.S. kennels, small coated sighthounds developed by U.S. breeder Walter Wheeler, and a single Whippet, brought in from Kridoni Kennel in Peru, whose blood brought into the breed some of the most influential Whippet lines in the Americas today. | |
