Greetings from Ruth and Doug Broadfoot and welcome to our website. We are located near Lynchburg, Virginia and have owned and bred whippets for more than 40 years. As breeders we are most proud of our record in the Bred by Exhibitor classes at the American Whippet Club’s National Specialty Shows.
Greetings from Ruth and Doug Broadfoot and welcome to our website. We are located near Lynchburg, Virginia and have owned and bred whippets for more than 40 years. We mostly enjoy showing our whippets in conformation and we participate occasionally in racing and lure coursing. We have had significant success with our breeding program over the years. We continue to breed on a limited basis and sometimes have puppies and young adults available to qualified homes.
We focus first on temperament and health, in the belief that to be a happy dog, a whippet must be a good pet. We also breed for soundness and “type,” those qualities that make a whippet look and act like a whippet.
We are a family hobby “kennel” with homes in Virginia and South Carolina…a kennel in name only, as our whippets are all house pets. We raise our puppies in our home along with our adult whippets, and all of our dogs are happy, healthy pets first and foremost.

We also breed for soundness and “type,” those qualities that make a whippet look and act like a whippet.
Today we are actively exploring the wonderful world of whippets. The niche we strive to occupy is that of producing the true dual purpose whippet – beautiful to behold, sound of mind and body, and possessing the soul of a true coursing hound.
