A Silken Welcome
The United Kingdom Silken Windhound Club was initiated in 2010 and is delighted to have breed founder, Francie Stull (Kristull) as our Patron. We hope you will spend some time to look around this site and get to know our Silken Windhounds.
In February 2005, the first Silken Windhound to arrive in the UK was Fira (Starcastle Hounds Firefly), a pale cream girl who came from Sweden. Fira was bred by Sussi Sternjbourg of Starcastle Hounds, a founder member of The International Silken Windhound Society (ISWS)
Puppy Scams & Irresponsible Breeders – Important Notice
There has been a rise in online scams offering puppies for sale, often involving falsified information and misleading claims. We strongly encourage all prospective owners to verify breeder credentials and pause if anything feels unclear or pressured.
Whilst the UKSWC has no regulatory powers, we are always happy to respond to concerns and offer guidance where needed.
