Only if you would rather we called.

Town and state is plenty. We place puppies within a day’s drive, so we can meet you.

What we ask, and why

Why so many questions about fences and cats?

Because the two ways whippets get hurt or lost are running into a road and chasing an animal. We want to match the right puppy to your home, not to rule you out.

Do we need whippet experience?

No. Many of our families are first-time whippet owners. Tell us honestly what you’ve done; we’ll help with the rest.

We’re far away. Can we still apply?

If you can drive here twice — once to meet us, once to collect — yes. We don’t ship, and we don’t place puppies with anyone we haven’t met.
