25 Years of Breeding Silken Windhounds
With the breed since 1998
Lizzie, Starcastle Hound’s Firelizard
In 2026, I celebrate 25 years as a breeder of Silken Windhounds.
This also marks 25 years since my first litter was born — including Lizzie, who became an important part of my breeding.
My journey with the breed began in 1998, with the first imports to Europe.
I invite you to explore this living history of the breed.
While it is built around my breeding, and still only just beginning, this is not only a kennel website.
It is also a long-term project where I share the history of the breed, its development over time, and my own journey with Silken Windhounds — from the early years until today.
The site is organised into different sections, each telling its own part of the story.
The site will continue to grow, with more material added over time.
Under Global Presence, you will find how the breed has spread across the world — including first arrivals, early litters, and recognition in different countries.
Within the Silken Windhound history section, Milestones brings together key moments in the development of the breed, along with early stories from its history.
Like all parts of the site, these sections will continue to grow over time.
