Meet the breeder
I'm Hillary T., the breeder behind Amethyst Silken Windhounds located in Olympia, WA. I'm a small, hobbyist breeder of Silken Windhounds focusing on temperament, health, and structure. My breeding dogs have been genetically tested by Embark, and OFA tested for thyroid, heart (echo), and eyes. I only place puppies within a THREE HOUR RADIUS of Olympia WA.
Q. & A. with Hillary
Why did you start breeding?
I started as a pet home and evolved into a racing and lure coursing home, and later also got involved in conformation. Silkens have been life changing for me in the best way and I want to share that experience with others! I look forward to getting my puppy people out to playdates as well as events when the puppies are older, and bringing them into the Pacific Northwest silken community!What makes your program special?
Temperament is the biggest factor for me. I start with great parents, provide mom with great nutrition, tons of support and minimize her stress during pregnancy, and continue to follow Avidog's program once puppies are born. I go the extra mile with puppies and get puppy homes involved with visits early so we have a relationship and they've spent lots of time with the puppies before they go home.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
