Conformation Showing
Silken Windhounds participate in conformation shows under the auspices of the IABCA (International All-Breed Canine Association), the NAKC/Rarities (North American Kennel Club) and the NCA (National Canine Association).
The International Silken Windhound Association also sanctions Regional Specialties as well as the National Specialty, Silkenfest. As is the case with most National Specialties, Silkenfest is held in different areas of the country, on a rotating basis, to give all our members the opportunity to attend.
Several countries outside of the U.S. have also held their own Specialty Shows. Silken Windhounds have been recognized in Slovenia and can be shown in regular kennel club shows in that country. The Kennel Club Japan has recognized Silken Windhounds and a Silken Windhound has earned a Japanese Champion title.
