To our English speaking visitors
"Calanais-windsprites" is the website of our Silken Windsprite house. We love Scotland since our first visit in the Seventies. We also visited the Outer Hebrides with our children and so we went to Calanais. That was the moment, when we have fallen in love for this place full of mystery. That's the reason, why we called our House of dogs
We are Eva and Hans Peter Kraehenbuehl and have had sighthounds for more than 50 years now. We invite you to look at our pages and enjoy the pictures of our dogs.
The breed was founded in the USA about 60 years ago by Walter A. Wheeler jun. under the name "Longhaired Whippets".
If you are interested in our breed, please call us or contact us by an Email.
