The Silken Windhound is an American breed of sighthound. Like most sighthounds, Silkens are noted coursers. Silken Windhounds are graceful, small- to medium-sized Sighthounds with silky coats of middling length. Silken coat colors can range from white to black, with brilliant brindles and solid red in between. They can be spotted, tuxedo-marked or solid-colored. Silken Windhounds are affectionate and playful, and are good dogs for families with children. Due to their friendliness, they are not good guard dogs but are easily housebroken and can be trained to live with smaller household pets. Silkens particularly like agility, therapy, flyball, and obedience.[citation needed] (Source: Wikipedia.org, CC BY-SA)
