Pricken was the browser brother that stayed at home.
He was King of the Castle for 14 years and he is still dearly missed.
I can clearly see Pricken in many of his descendants, several generations down, it is a bit like getting to be able to keep a piece of him around to this day.
<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Pricken only had one litter, 6 puppies, 2 males, 4 females.
Three of the girls continued the line.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the daughters, Fire Fly, moved to England, became the first Silken Windhound in England and founded a dynasty of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through Fire Fly, a total of at least thirteen generations<\/em> can be documented as of December 2025, spread across Europe and the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Prickens line can be traced through multiple generations, with documented descendants extending at least 14 generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pricken had a very particular quirk: recall was simply not something he engaged in.
Throughout his life I knew that if I ever let him off lead outside a fenced area, I had to allow one or two hours to wait him out, until he eventually grew bored and allowed himself to be caught.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He never ran off or disappeared. He stayed nearby \u2014 he just had absolutely no interest in being put back on lead.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pricken was a real chameleon, changing in color from pup to end of life<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Pricken never had really reliable rose ears, they were kind of – flexible…
But as he got older the cartilage in the ears got stiffer and during the last years he could not fold his ears at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
