Welcome to Valenwood

Welcome to Valenwood Whippets, where we breed top-quality whippets for show and pet owners. As a dedicated breeder, I'm committed to producing healthy, happy whippets that make wonderful companions. My love for dogs began at a young age, and I started my journey in dog showing in 2003. Over the years, I've honed my skills and now focus on breeding high-quality whippets that meet the American Whippet Club's standards.

Our litters are thoughtfully planned for sound temperament, excellent conformation, and good health. Additionally, we enjoy participating in various dog sports like fast cats, rally, and agility to keep our whippets well-rounded and delightful pets.

While we take pride in our show successes, our ultimate goal is to provide loving homes for our puppies. This site isn't just about our dogs and litters; it's also a personal blog chronicling our adventures in the dog world, from sharing knowledge to exploring new restaurants during dog shows. We invite you to join us in our passion for whippets and our commitment to breeding quality dogs for both show and pet owners.
