Our Breeding Philosophy
We strive to breed well socialized, healthy, happy dogs that are loving, devoted companions and life long family members. Outstanding health and excellent temperament are our primary focus. After that we aim to breed the best to the best to produce dogs that will excel in all dog sports. It is great to win at these activities but it is more important to us to have fun and enjoy our time every day watching the dogs do what they enjoy.
If you are interested in a dog from Kumbaya Farm please go to the tab marked Silken Windhounds and submit the Contact Form to let us know what you are interested in - male or female for show, breeding, performance events, therapy or companion dog. Please tell us a little about yourself, where you live, what the living environment is like where the dog will live, your background in dogs and your interest in Silken Windhounds. We will respond to your inquiry just as soon as we are able.
All of our dogs are placed with a contract. This is more of setting expectations and letting owners know that we are serious about them making a life long commitment to owning a Silken Windhound. Since you have chosen to get a Silken Windhound our preference is that the owner and dog enroll in a puppy socialization training class, be active in activities with other Silken Windhounds and dogs such as social gatherings, beach runs, dog shows, performance events (racing, lure coursing, obedience, rally, nosework) and help promote this relatively new breed of dog by being a good ambassador for the greater Silken Windhound community. If for any reason your circumstances change after you obtain a dog from us the dog is welcome to come back to us or we will help you find a suitable home for the dog. Included in any dog we place are ISWS and UKC registration, current vaccines and worming, microchip, health testing if necessary for CEA (Collie Eye Anomaly), MDR1, and DNA parental confirmation. New owners are responsible for transporation costs to their new home. We can be flexible and believe that we are easy to work with so that a dog we suggest would be a good match for you. If you request to reserve a particular dog we require a $250 nonrefundable deposit that is applied toward the purchase price. We only request a desposit because the dog you request will no longer be offered for sale to any other interested persons.
