Our Silkens are very much part of our family. They spend most of their days alternating between napping upside down on the couch and zooming + partying like hooligans in the yard. They go on regular public outings with us around town, and on hikes in the woods. When they’re not living the average dog life, they train in obedience and agility and compete in conformation and racing (lure coursing and straight racing). Our first generation of pups has gone on to place in the top 10 Silkens in UKC conformation, title in racing, rally, flyball, and agility, and train for scentwork and service work for their owners, as well as certify as therapy dogs! We hope to continue producing the same quality of dogs in the future.
We believe in completely socializing all of our pups in different situations with people of all ages, shapes and sizes, different dog breeds, and cats, so that our pups are set up for success in their new homes. Any litters we have will be carefully thought out, and we fully health and DNA test our dogs per ISWS’s requirements before breeding them.
Conformation and temperament are major factors in considering who we will use in our breeding program, as we plan on breeding only to better the breed. We believe in starting our puppies out with early neurological stimulation and socialization (we use techniques from both Puppy Culture and Avidog), and spend lots of time setting them up for success in their new homes. We send our pups home between 10 and 12 weeks of age. Flight nanny options are available.
All of our dogs and puppies are microchipped and kept up to date on vaccines and deworming. Any Silkens that we place will always have a home with us no matter how old, and we will take a dog back without question. Families are always matched with the Silken that we feel will fit best for them, and Sigil Silken owners have a lifetime of support.
