Meet the breeder
I'm Gwen L., the breeder behind Gwen Little's Borzois and Silken Windhounds located in Pahrump, NV. My focus is on maintaining the Borzoi & Windhound breed standard by raising structurally sound puppies that are true to type. My priority is to ensure the health and well-being of all my dogs from birth until they leave with their forever family and beyond. It's so fulfilling to see the positive effect that a beloved, furry companion can have on his or her family.
Q. & A. with Gwen
Why did you start breeding?
I wanted to do my part to better the breed. My breeding program strives to maintain the unique characteristics of the Borzoi and Silken Windhound breeds while placing an emphasis on producing dogs of superior health, temperament, and type. It is an honor to represent these breeds and create opportunities for others to experience the same.What makes your program special?
I am a professional dog handler and trainer. I do not breed my dogs unless they are fully healthy and are true to type and standard. I am dedicated to always having responsible breeding policies not only when producing puppies, but when socializing and training them, too!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
