IMa HAS NO PUPPIES AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME

If you are considering being considered as a prospective  IMa puppy's home, please know that I require a written, signed contract, and I will gladly send a standard copy to you on request.  Yes, I know some folks say that contracts are only as good as the people who sign them, that they are too expensive to enforce, and ultimately a waste of the paper on which they are printed.  To this, I counter argue that a similar philosophy has been proposed about locks -- as in padlocks and deadbolts.  Locks only keep the honest people out.  That's what they say, and they might even be right.  But what kind of fool would I be not to lock up my treasured valuables and my precious belongings simply because dishonest people are likely to break both laws and locks to get to them?  What sort of simpleton to leave my dearest possessions and my priceless property utterly unguarded because I cannot protect them inviolably?  

I believe in locks.  I have them on my house, my car, my gym locker and even my diary.  I believe in contracts, too, because my puppies are my treasured valuables and my precious belongings; they are my dearest possessions and my priceless property.  I will go gladly to the trouble of this extra security measure, this contract, in an effort to protect them; I will spend the money to enforce and reinforce the security measures that I put in place, and I'll make waste of as much tree pulp as I need to guard my puppies as best I can.  I'm striving to be responsible, not pompous.  I'm seeking to be honest, not intimidating.  I'm hoping to accomplish the right thing for you, the puppy and me.

Though most often IMa does not have puppies available, we always are willing to help you find available whippets - 
either puppies or adults - from reputable breeders who  perform regular eye and heart testing prior to breeding and 
who willingly guarantee their hounds' genetic health.

You should expect to be questioned, interviewed, screened and otherwise scrutinized.  
Moreover, you should expect to question, interview, screen and DO YOUR RESEARCH!

The process may take time, but it will be time well spent when you finally
find the right dog from the right source.
