imported_patricia Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 Hi, whippets are small site hounds, well i say small it seems that nowadays there are a lot of no limit racing whippets, they have been crossed with a greyhound and can be very big ie. i seen one run and it was 70 lb, silly ey whippets are supposed to be small and range from 16lb to 32lb. we race in classes, upto 20lb, upto24lb, upto28lb and upto32lb. whippets are the most affectionate creature i have ever had the pleasure of owning, they do't smell except when they roll in something yukk and they like to do that so they have a bath regular.. we race for championship titles and then the champions run off to attain a supreme title , this happens once a year so is very hard to aquire, whippets are adorable as is most other dogs...........I just love whippets.... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starcastle Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 Hmm, Slovenia. You will have the first Slovenian Silken Windhound litter later this year I think. Silken Windhound is a breed created from Whippet and Borzoi, it looks like Slovenia is going to recognise the Silken Windhouds this year.

Guest Anonymous Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 Really :o , do you know who is the breeder. Are there any web pages about them (could ypu please write them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starcastle Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 Breeder is Helena Arh, kennel Wolkowo (she hasn't updated her site in years but you'll find contact info there) [url]http://ksh.fgg.uni-lj.si/WOLKOWO/[/url] Helena co-owns Kristull Coco Chanel with a German kennel, they also co-own a male puppy from me (now 7 months) and he will be the sire of the first Slovenian litter, Coco will probably be in season when Silver is about 1 year old. Let's see if he is old enough then to understand :-) You can see both Coco and Silver at [url]http://www.spirit-of-the-tsar-borzois.de/[/url] click on "past and present" under Silken Windhounds. The rest of the Europan Silkens can be seen at [url]http://www.windhound.com[/url] [url]http://members.surfeu.fi/eija.achren/[/url] [url]http://www.saunalahti.fi/~ejuhola/siru/[/url] [url]http://www.saunalahti.fi/~tytti10/koirat/[/url] The Finnish Silken Windhound club [url]http://members.surfeu.fi/ssvk/en_index.html[/url] The International Silken Windhound Society [url]http://www.silkenwindhound.org[/url] Here is my own favourite pic of my firstborn puppy :-) [url]http://www.silkenwindhound.com/starcastle/dscf0023.jpg[/url] More general info [url]http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/silkenwindhound.htm[/url] [url]http://centralpets.com/pages/critterpages/mammals/dogs/DOG6032.shtml[/url] My own site [url]www.windhound.com[/url] is probably the most extensive Silken Windhound site on Internet.
