Silken Windhound puppies for sale in Yukon

Breed history

The Silken Windhound is a relatively new breed, developed in the United States in the 1980s by crossing Whippets with various sighthound breeds, including the Borzoi. The aim was to create a breed that retained the grace and athleticism of sighthounds, but in a smaller, more versatile package. Known for their silky coat, agility, and gentle temperament, Silken Windhounds quickly became popular among those interested in sighthound sports and as family companions. They are recognized for their speed, endurance, and ability to adapt to both competitive racing and relaxed home life.
