Silken Windhound Breed

Description : The Silken Windhound is a small, hardy, strikingly elegant sighthound. Its classic, sweeping lines and athletic build are the hallmark of a true coursing dog, which is evident beneath the, luxurious, silky, yet protective coat. Its size, structure, and coat enable the Silken Windhound not only to be a capable runner over a wide variety of terrain and through unpredictable weather conditions but also to be competitive in a variety of dog sports. Viewing the Silken Windhound from the side, one should have the impression of remarkable beauty integrated with exceptional running ability. Beginning with its chiseled head, a long arched neck, dramatic depth of brisket and an extreme tuck/up ending with the graceful sweep of the long, low carried tail, the Silken Windhound is the embodiment of athletic beauty. The moderately long silky coat complements the sweeping curves.
