by Jennifer Hime
(Colorado)

We are located at the foot of Horsetooth Mountain in Colorful Colorado.

Our whippets get to enjoy the Colorado sunshine and fresh mountain breezes in the summer and a cozy couch at the fireside in winter. What a perfect whippet life!

We are active in showing, obedience, lure coursing, and racing. Puppies occasionally available.

Pippa the Whippet and Sarah

by Monica Simmons
(Sonoma, Ca.)

I have a small whippet kennel in Northern Ca.

My breeding program is focused on temperament first than keenness and speed.

All my pups are raised with my grand kids, they quickly learn to be squeezed, tugged on or that dropping is a fact of life....in return a kiss is forth coming.

When Pippa isn't loving on kids she loves to go to race practice.

Whippet Breeders: Charmed Village Kennel

by Cherylyn
(Hinckley,Ohio,USA)

Charmed Village is a small family kennel located in Hinckley, Ohio, 20 miles south of Cleveland. We breed only a few ultra high quality whippet puppies a year. We do this because its fun, but make no mistake we are passionate about our dogs.

We have a long and loving history with dogs.
In the 70's and 80's my husband was enamoured with large breeds: Great Danes, Irish Wolfhounds, and Great Pyrenees, and his sister down the road from us still breeds beautiful Danes.

After raising our 5 children and being frontline health care professionals for many years we knew we had a knack for making living things thrive.

We then had the good fortune of discovering the best kept secret in the canine world: Whippets.

Our dogs have exemplary AKC champion bloodlines with Westminster Best of Breed winners in their pedigree, but we believe that good genetics and awards are not an end, they're just the beginning.

Our pups are extensively socialized. They each receive daily handling and attention from the day of their birth. They are born in and stay in the room adjacent to our bedroom, and when they are old enough, weather permitting, they romp and play in our huge fenced yard and garden.

We both come from large families and have lots of neighbors so our dogs interact from an early age with lots of adults, a veritable armada of children, two miniature rat terriers, and our Amazon Parrot who struts on the floor like a field marshal.

Everyone, it seems, "breeds for temperament" and it is unquestionably every dog's single most important quality.

What does it mean?
It is your dog's personality and the attributes you want are the same that you look for in a spouse: loving but not suffocating, trustworthy, elegant, beautiful/handsome, fun-loving, and a great companion.

Someone you love coming home to, and that is always and forever our primary objective. But all this is still not the end, its just the middle.

You also want a dog whose athleticism can fill your heart with the sheer joy of being alive, who could put the most graceful prima ballerina or the fastest NFL wide receiver to shame.

The end comes when after 15 incredible years of companionship, your dog dies and you shed a tear on his grave and say "that was the best dog I ever had". THIS is the goal. THIS is what our dogs are about. If this is what you're looking for give us a holler.

Whippet Puppies for Sale: Longrun Whippets

by Sally Long
(Dow, Illinois, USA)

We are a hobby "kennel" in rural Illinois, USA. Our "kennel" is our house, as our whippets are all house pets first, competitors second.

We participate in AKC and IABCA dog shows, WRA and NOTRA racing, and occasionally ASFA lure coursing with our whippets.

We strive for the ideal multi-purpose whippet: an elegant, athletic, healthy hound, with a wonderful temperament, and that keen desire to chase that the breed was created for.

Whippets come in many colors and marking combinations, and we love them all. We have whippets in a range of markings from almost all white to almost all black or red brindle.

Whippets are delightful companions, very social dogs that are even better in groups of two or more.

We adore our little whipper-snappers!
Interested in a whippet? We have a new litter, whelped September 10, 2009. Serious inquiries welcome. Of course, we always welcome general whippet questions from those seeking to learn about our favorite breed.

Whippet Breeders: SaeSi

by Mary Magee
(Indianapolis, Indiana, USA)

I added my first whippet to my family's life in 1993, added his sister just a few months later and a third just a few months after that.

I currently attend dog events including AKC & UKC shows, WRA/NOTRA/NAWRA racing. I am a member of The American Whippet Club and am a founding member and officer of Midwest Whippet Racing Association.

I consider myself blessed to have dogs across the country and a few outside the country enriching other families' lives, several of them have gone on to become titled either in the ring, field, or track.

I also have Chinese Cresteds and compete in the ring with them. I collect books and magazines on both breeds, and spend most of my 'spare' time studying pedigrees.

Additionally, I published the Whippet Watch magazine from 1999 til 2009 and very much enjoyed learning even more while using my training and education to produce a very well-read international publication.

(Lehighton, PA USA)

Eclipse is a small breeding/show kennel of quality Whippets in Lehighton, PA USA. We usually have 1-2 litters a year, and although we breed for show quality Whippets, we do sell lots of quality puppies into companion/pet homes.

We keep anywhere from 8-15 adults at any given time. Our puppies are home raised until they are about 8 weeks old, when they then move out into the kennel to get used to being around other Whippets and noises. Here they also learn to use a doggie door.

Whippet Breeders: Timbreblue

We are a small kennel in southwestern Virginia. Our whippets are all housepets and spend their days on the sofa, running outside, and following us around hoping we'll drop some food! In breeding, our emphasis is on temperament and health, in the belief that to be a happy dog, a whippet must be a good pet. After that, we breed for soundness and "type," those qualities that make a whippet look and act like a whippet.

Our puppies are raised underfoot in the former guest room -- now puppy room -- and we stay in touch with their owners throughout their lives. The Timbreblue "family" is a close one, with everyone posting news and stories to our email list and getting together every year in Virginia for a reunion. Every puppy we breed is equally important to us, whether he goes to a show home or simply enjoys his life as a pet. Our whippets are precious to us and we are proud to share this lovely breed with others who will cherish it.

Whippet Breeders: Cherche' Whippets

by Chris Durance- Watkins
(Hull, GA)

Cherche' Whippets are located on five acres approximately 60 miles northeast of Atlanta, GA.

Our dogs are first and foremost members of our family and live as house companions.
My husband, David and I currently live with 5 Whippets and 1 Chihuahua.

We are considered a hobby breeder and focus on breeding dogs for ourselves to show and run.
Because our whippets are members of our family health testing and sound temperaments are top priorities for us.
Health tests include Cardiac, eyes Cerfed and have been Bear (hearing) tested.

My mother, Glenda, started Cherche' in 1984 as a hobby for my 4-H school project.
She is no longer as active in shows and field trials but is always there for our support. We value her experience and knowledge of the breed. Since 1994, I have shared my passion for whippets and breeding with my best friend, Crystal McNulty of Hycks Hollow Whippets in Illinois.

Most of our dogs are dual purpose . . . from conformation to field we enjoy every venue! Over the years we have owned and/or bred numerous National, Regional and Independent Specialty Best in Show winners, and several Top 20 conformation ranked dogs, as well as a select number of Top 20 Lure Coursing whippets.

We breed a litter about every 2-3 yrs. We expect any family that takes home one of our 4 legged children to stay in touch with us through out the dogs life. We are responsible for bringing these guys into this world and we would like to keep track of them through out their life.
