The following dogs are the foundation to Sunera Silken Windhounds. 

UKC GRCH

Clayborn's Silverton

"Ronan"

Ronan is a very special boy. He was affected by parvo virus at a very early age. The disease nearly killed him. Despite his early setback he made a full recovery after a week in the ICU and close nursing care at home with his breeder. He has been a true blessing to have around, and we are so lucky to have him!

He is a multi BOB and Group winner. He finished his championship very quickly. Ronan finished his grand championship end of November 2018.

Ronan has the absolute best personality a person could hope for in a dog. He is outgoing, extremely social, and has never met a stranger. Ronan now lives in California with his new family but is still an important part of our breeding program.
