Silkemynde or Silke mynde
Mynde means sighthound<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Silkkivinttikoira
or silkkeni<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Estonian it\u2019s just \u201csilken\u201d
Is that official name?
what is official
– we don\u2019t have that yet. \ud83d\ude01This is the option that I would like to present to EKL for recognition. Based on same logic as galgo, borzoi, whippet etc- all without windhound suffix in Estonian\u2026
For us for us it would be silken hurt then which does not sound well or ameerika hurt aka silken which is misleading<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Latvia recently recognized the Silken Windhound I asked people there what the name would be in their language. Literally translated into Latvian: Zidzspalvas kurts
But I am not so sure they use anything else then Silken Windhound?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
