Is the litter your wife is on the waiting list for a first cross litter?

 

If it is does your wife realize they will all be smooth coated pups, as smooth is dominant over feathered/long hair (not counting wire hair which is dominant over smooth).

 

Only if the whippet was carrying the longcoated/feathered recessive by having some collie blood etc in there somewhere would you get some feathered long coated pups.

Thats intresting I will check I was enquiering as to how a breed they are trying to establish (Silken Windhounds) and get Kennel club registered could be based on first crosses

surley that is just the first part of the breeding? I know nouthing about breeding other than basics of putting dogs with certain qualitys together to add somthing to the line?

Silkens breed true!!

If you are on the waiting list for a silken it will look like the pic I posted (but a different colour for those that seem to be struggling)

If you are on the waiting list for a borzoi x whippet then thats a different matter.

 

Also, which kennels are you visiting?

LinksA Brief History of the Silken Windhound

After considering options since 1975, a Borzoi breeder, Francie Stull, determined that a smaller hound with wonderful temperament, long coat, all-around good health, with the poise and sporting abilities of the larger sighthounds, would be an ideal second breed for her kennel.

 

In the early 1980's, an advertisement appeared in The Sighthound magazine for a Borzoi litter. Included was the famous Borzoi bitch, American, English Champion Stillwater Virginia Reel.

 

This beautiful bitch caught the eye of Kristull Kennel and the purchase of a pick puppy from her next litter was negotiated.

 

When bred to Stillwater White Lightning, Am. Eng. Ch. Stillwater Virginia Reel produced a blue brindle puppy, Stillwater Kristull Peacock. Peacock had the structure, personality and coat that formed the basis for the Silken Windhound when she was bred to Windsprite Autumnal Xenon.

 

With more than two hundred champion Borzoi in the record books, Kristull's Silken Windhound foundation stock combined dogs from some of the best show and coursing Borzoi lines, a multi-generational line of small Whippet-based lurchers, and Whippets from both show and coursing lines.

 

The result of the breeding program was a magnificent little sighthound designed to fill a gap in the line-up of sighthound breeds - a medium-sized elegant hound, at home both in the show ring and in the field, about 18-24 inches at the shoulder, with an easy-care, long, silken coat in all sighthound colors and color combinations, and a steady, affectionate and confident personality.

 

Typically, Silken Windhounds live very healthy, active lives. While most live into their late teens, the oldest known Silken Windhound lived a few months past her 20th birthday.

 

Silken Windhounds arrived as a breed with the "D" litter whelped in 1985. In 1998 the name Silken Windhound was officially adopted and the Yahoo Windhounds list was formed.

 

The International Silken Windhound Society, chartered in 1999, maintains all pedigrees and DNA-verified registrations for the breed.

 

Silken Windhounds are now found throughout the United States as well as Austria, Commonwealth of the Bahamas, Canada, Finland, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Japan, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom

borzoi x whippet but why/ a 30 ins dog crossed with a 18,,,20 in dog makes no sence whatsoever . borzoi what does it offer ,,absolutly nothing!!! sorry if you find this negative ,but there is enough dogs about to choose from without getting into these weird and wonderfull crosses , just another addition to the rubbish pile

the ones i seen offered weird curly tails held high on there backs looked shit to be fair .only good point they could jump fences for fun,they didnt keep em going so suppose they were nothing special work wise.the lad kept collie xs as well and stuck with them.

I see there is no mention of how they were going to maintain a decent working ability for the breed.

My guess is they weren't .
