We may occasionally have a litter of whippet puppies and it is possible that some of the puppies may be available to pet homes. Please feel free to fill out this questionnaire if you would like to be considered for one of our puppies (cut and paste into an email or text editor). Please also note whether you would be interested in our passing your information on to other breeders if we do not have any puppies available at the time.
We want our puppy to be a much-loved member of your family. Families are not all alike and puppies, even from the same litter, have very different personalities. A dog that would be a joy in one home could be a nightmare for another! Your answers to the questions below will help us understand your situation and the type dog that would fit in with your lifestyle. And please feel free to ask us any questions you'd like.
