Robban winning Best in Show at Silkenfest 2003 in Finland — the only year Silkenfest has been held outside the USA. Shown here by Francie Stull.

Robban was the first Silken Windhound male imported to Sweden and Starcastle Hound’s.

Robban was a very gentle, sweet, positive and social dog.
He loved everyone, people and dogs alike.

Robban could often be seen playing with puppies, and carefully teaching them things like respecting their elders with very soft methods.

He was a typical son of his mother Z Mystery, known for her wonderful temperament, and he passed it on to his own descendants.

Robban was used in a limited breeding program, producing three litters — two in Sweden and one in Finland — with a total of 15 puppies, living in Sweden, Finland, Norway, Austria, Switzerland, England and USA.

Among his offspring was SLO Ch Starcastle Hound’s Silver Lining, the first Silken Windhound to achieve an official championship title from a recognized kennel club.

A daughter born in Finland was later exported to the United States, where her descendants went on to form a significant part of Robban’s international legacy. Today, his line can be traced through multiple generations, with documented descendants extending at least ten generations from Robban.
