#Machete's canon setting takes place in late 16th century so Silkens (or Whippets that were used to create them) wouldn't have been there

I'm sure you've already answered this but is Machete styled after a silken windhound? He is so very shaped

His breed is fictional, but it closely resembles modern day Ibizan hound. Both Silkens and Ibizans are sighthounds though, so you're not far off.
