Our goal is to breed the best whippets in mind and body that we can and to match them with people who will value them for the amazing dogs that they are. We do not show as this matters a lot less to us than seeing to it that our puppies make good pets. We try to place them in lifelong homes where they will be loved and enjoyed and will improve people's lives. So our priorities in selecting dogs to

breed are temperament, health and type, in that order, colour does not play a part in our decision and is just the wrapping to an amazing personality. The happiest life for a dog is as a cherished family pet in my honest opinion, in particular curled up inside with their people. In making breeding decisions, we first look for the qualities that will make our puppies successful members in any household. This means breeding our females to males whose temperaments we know to be even, social rather than those we don't know. No matter how "pretty" the dog we won't use him in our breeding program unless we are convinced he has correct, sound whippet temperament. sometimes this means choosing to breed with a dog that has an easygoing temperaments over those with more drive to win in the performance arenas (hunting, racing, coursing etc) We place puppies only in homes where they'll be pets first. And nothing is more important in a pet than temperament. In the long run, no breed can survive unless its future is protected by breeding only genetically healthy dogs. Whippets are an exceptionally problem-free breed and we endeavour to keep it that way, we would never knowingly breed any animal with a hereditary question mark. We have had whippets for more then 16 years before we decided to breed, and it was several more years until we found a whippet we felt good about breeding, Libby is our foundation bitch and we could not be more proud of the puppies she has produced thus far. We don't kid ourselves that we are "improving the breed." We will never breed enough to have an impact on whippets as a whole. The best we can do is try to make every litter better than the last. We strive to improve our whippets each and every litter and above all else, to do no harm to the future of whippets. For puppy enquiries please follow the page and you can PM us when we announce puppies, we will post when we are expecting. Thank you for reading.
