Meet the breeder
I'm the breeder behind Redshift Silken Windhounds located in Colorado. My goal in breeding is to create healthy dogs who are versatile, lure driven, and athletic, and who retain the core Silken essence of being gentle, sweet, social, easy to live with companions. Puppies are raised indoors with Avidog and Puppy Culture guidelines, and are extensively socialized.
