I have been showing and racing whippets since 2006 when I decided to look for a whippet to add to our family as a pet. Epiphany whippets show, lure course, race and are active in therapy work.
We have been fortunate through the years that our efforts have been consistently rewarded. We are not a large “operation”. We feel comfortable breeding one litter a year, if that. Since 1985 we have bred or co-bred over 125 champions. We were the top breeder of champions for 1992, 1999 and 2000.
As a breeder I place temperament and liveability above all else when I breed a litter of pups. After that comes health and then beauty and soundness. I am always looking for the next lovely one to take to the show ring, but of course, in a typical litter, there will some pups that do not have the desire, or exactly what they may be looking for in the show ring, so those whippets can make wonderful companions and sometimes performance dogs or therapy dogs.
Our goal at CARA is to produce dogs that are physically sound, fully tested against genetic disease and loving companion dogs. If we are able to produce a high quality show dog from a litter, it is a bonus! We do not breed often and only when we intend to keep a dog from the litter to show. All dogs kept by CARA remain here for their lifetime.

Our puppies are very carefully placed in homes where they will blossom. We breed just one or two litters per year, and enjoy the friendships that we make through our puppy families.
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 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.
I am a reputable and responsible breeder of whippets in southern California. I breed to better the breed. I only breed finished champions in America that are fully health tested and on OFA.
I joined the American Whippet Club in 2000. I bred my first whippet litter in 2007 and my second in 2013. All the pups are doing fine and I keep in touch with the owners to see how things are going. We breed for temperament, versatility and conformation.
Enjoying whippets for 35 years, we based our line on some of the whippet “immortals”, Ricky,Whirlaway, and Barndance. From our first litter over thirty years ago, to our most current, we have always bred for classic elegance, true gait, and soundness.
At TripleStar Hounds we believe that these stunning creatures should continue to honor their ancestors and perform as intended with power and grace, whether it is on the field, in the show ring, or in the home. We are humble hobbyists located in the Southern California / Los Angeles area. Our primary focus is to the wonderful, versatile Whippet but we have a love for all dogs. Our dogs are family above all else and we are blessed to have them in our lives. We settle for nothing less than the best health, temperament, type and soundness when visualizing our goals for the future of a breed.
We are a small home/kennel with a very selective breeding program. We have been successful in producing whippets that excel in the show ring, coursing field and, most importantly, as loving companions.
Welcome to Moxie Whippets where we specialize in Quality Whippets, not Quantity. We are a very small family/hobby breeder, located in beautiful upstate NY near Binghamton. Our Whippets live in our home as full cherished family members first and foremost regardless of any potential breeding program and with the “Betterment of the Breed” being our primary concern for our Breed. Here at Moxie we are striving to be able to bring you the very best Whippets in Temperament, Health and Conformation.
We are a small kennel located in Southern California that breeds performance Whippets. Our Whippets are bred for temperament plus performance ability, coursing, racing, and companionship.
The Whippet standard was written to describe a racing and rabbit coursing hound. I believe in breeding towards that goal, to maintain a dog that can excel at the job it was created to do; race and hunt rabbits, and look beautiful doing it while continuing to be fabulous, healthy pets.
We are a small hobby kennel dedicated to producing the highest quality Whippets and Irish Wolfhounds. We have been owning, showing and breeding Irish Wolfhounds since the 1990’s, and whippets since 2005. Hounds from our kennel or breeding have won multiple Best in Specialty Shows, Best in Sweepstakes, group placements, and other awards and recognition.
Our goal is to breed healthy, beautiful, and well socialized family pets. Majority of our dogs are sold solely as family companions, we have been fortunate and allowed to show some of the ones sold close to our home to their championships.
Our goal at CARA is to produce dogs that are physically sound, fully tested against genetic disease and loving companion dogs. If we are able to produce a high quality show dog from a litter, it is a bonus! We at CARA strictly abide by the Keeshond Club Of America Code of Ethics, The American Whippet Club Code of Ethics and the KRNA Code of Ethics. When you purchase a dog from CARA, you become “family” and we are here for you 24/7 with advice, to answer questions and just chat about your dog.
We strive to produce healthy, intelligent puppies that are able to integrate comfortably into a variety of age groups, households, and lifestyles. We started breeding with the simple mission to breed the very best dogs that we can, to raise them with love, and to find them the perfect future homes.
We are located at the foot of Horsetooth Mountain in Colorful Colorado. Our whippets get to enjoy the Colorado sunshine and fresh mountain breezes in the summer and a cozy couch at the fireside in winter. What a perfect whippet life! We are active in showing, obedience, lure coursing, and racing. Puppies occasionally available.
