This is a breed I've recently started seriously looking into. They just seem really amazing. I'm stuck between them and LHWs, because the LHW seems to have a bit more of the energy I like, but I like that the Silken is more accepted as a "real breed." I don't like drama. I just need to meet them, but I live in Alaska, so that sucks.
I saw what I think were two LHWs at an event last summer. I have been obsessed with their look ever since. When I saw them, I was shocked by how small Salukis are... but have since realized they weren't Salukis at all, so either LHW or Silken. I just didn't know about those breeds at the time.
I must track these dogs down and meet them!
