Welcome to Flying Whippets.
 Our whippets are beloved family members living and playing with us each day. We discovered whippets at the perfect moment in our lives. We had just moved into a house with a large yard. Chad spends his days teaching at Elings Park, 130 acres of open space (where the dogs can play all day) and Lee Anne works from home, so our whippets have the best lives dogs can have.
We enjoy conformation and lure coursing with our whippets. These are the perfect venues to enjoy the grace, beauty, versatility and athletism of these incredible creatures. |

Our first Whippet. Kestrel is a classic Whippet, and has captured our hearts with her elegant and beautiful style. She is eminently feminine with a lovely outline. Kestrel is very keen and enjoys nothing more than chasing the lure.

Love at First Sight! When I came across Rocky's puppy picture, I knew he was meant to be part of our home. Luckily, Terje, his breeder agreed. Not an easy decision, I'm sure, as he had to send this charming little boy all the way from Denmark to California.
Rocky proved that black whippets can compete quite well in the show ring. His great side gait, clean coming and going, and typey conformation made him a hit! In just over two months of showing, Rocky had earned his majors and 13 points, 3 BOBs over specials and a group placement. Rocky placed in his class in the Nationals and in June 2005, Rocky completed his Championship under Judge Dr. Jon C Shelton. See more of Rocky's triumphs here.
Now he's tearing up the lure coursing field, in the quest for his dual championship. Follow his lure coursing career here |

Thunder comes from the Raptor Litter, and rounds out our little whippet family very nicely.
This charming puppy has won his way into our life with just the gaze in his eye.
He is a big boy, and likes to entice the whole family to chase and rumble, playing for hours on end!
Thunder is already pointed on the AKC Lure Coursing Field as Well as in the Show Ring. Flying Master Thunderbird has a page of his own here. |

Reunited!
Recently, Rocky and a few of his offspring were together at a show, and we decided to do a portrait.
Here you have Thunder, Rocky, Marin and Misty, our black and white whippets that are winning Blue all over! |
