I'm Jolene H., the breeder behind Starfyre Silken Windhounds located in Orange County, CA. I produce pups that will continue to excel in their chosen field, whether that be working, showing, or as an active companion. I hand-raise all of my dogs with love in my home. I have high expectations for my puppies and make sure to place each one with an enriching and loving family complementary to their personality and ability!
Q. & A. with Jolene
Why did you start breeding?
There’s nothing I love more than spending time with my dogs, whether that be training, competing, or snuggling up at home. It is important to me that I not only preserve my own phenomenal bloodlines, but that I am improving this breed with each litter and ensuring the well-being of these dogs for generations more to come!
What makes your program special?
I am a professional breeder of high-quality Silken Windhounds. I do not produce a litter unless each of my parent dogs are fully healthy and excellent representations of the standard. I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming my pups. I love what I do and truly want nothing more than to see each and every one of my puppies shine!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
