r/SilkenWindhound

My fiance and I are looking to add a silken puppy to our home in the next year. We are only interested in ethical breeders. Any recommendations?

I’m planning to get a puppy this or next year, so I’m curious what experience it was for others and what they would have done differently now

I've been thinking about adopting a silken windhound puppy, but from my research, kennels in Europe are pretty scarce. Does anyone know any reputable ones? preferably in middle europe (slovakia, czechia, austria, hungary and poland)?

Hello I’m new to the group and am hoping to get a silken windhound puppy in the next year. I have some preferences in mind as far as gender and color but am of course open to anything if the temperament feels like the best fit. I am however mildly allergic to dogs (I already have a regiment for this because we have a golden retriever) so am curious about the difference in coat thickness within the breed. I have seen several people posting that some tend to have thicker coats more similar to borzois and that those tend to shed quite a bit more. Are you able to tell what their adult coats will be like while they are still puppies or is it a bit more of a surprise? I have also seen that the lighter coats tend to shed more and that is actually some of the coloring I’m interested in. Any advice or info is appreciated. I am absolutely in love with the breed and a thicker coat is definitely not a deal breaker for me, more of just something I’d like to be prepared for.
