Dam of the planned 2027 litter
GCH CH Ashgrove Small Hours SC BCAT “Clover”
Echo normal (Aug 2026) · CAER normal (Sep 2026) · BAER normal · MSTN clear · CHIC #168930

Planned: Clover × Ansel
Clover × Ansel, expected April 2027
Clover is Wren’s daughter, four and a half, a grand champion with a soft, sociable temperament. Ansel is a dual champion from Stonebridge in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, whom we have watched course for three seasons. He has the bone and front we want to add; Clover has the type and the easy temperament we want to keep. Expected litter COI 2.8 %. Both are D/D, so there will be no blue puppies.
Nothing here is a promise: whippets come into season when they choose, and a mating does not always take. We will update this page at the mating, at the ultrasound and at the birth. We take deposits only after the puppies are born and matched.
