Ridgebacks were our first love, but now we own more Whippets, so we generally have a whippet litter each year but an RR litter only occasionally.

All our puppies are sold registered with Dog NSW, microchipped, vacinnated and vet checked. Pet puppies will be sold on the LIMIT register, which means they are not suitable for showing and/or breeding.  A comprehensive information booklet is provided along with some food and a Pro Plan puppy pack, a toy and most importantly, after sales service with interest and support for the lifetime of our dogs.

All litters are whelped and reared inside the home for the first few weeks.  All our dogs (3 breeds) run together and all puppies are introduced to the adult dogs.  We believe are puppies are well socialised, happy, outgoing, and most importantly, healthy.

We don't condone inbreeding, and only occasionally linebreed and never closely.  We tend to breed type to type and look for males that will compliment our girls. 

Our first aim is to breed happy and healthy dogs that will make wonderful family companions.  We appreciate that the majority of enquiries we receive are for a pet puppy and not everyone wants to show their dog, however, for us, we still strive to produce great looking dogs with fantastic character regardless of whether they are for companions or destined for a show/breeding home .   

Luckily, Whippets are pretty healthy and there are no required health checks,  RR's are a little different.  Our adult RR's are hip and elbow scored prior to breeding and we are very proud of our scores.  Whilst no-one is infallible, with 35 years experience with RR's, we are confident in our ability to detect Dermoid Sinus in RR puppies - both cervical and caudal - so our puppy buyers should never experience a problem.  We also have our RR puppies checked by vets who are competent in detection of the disease and when we sell our RR's, we educate owners how to detect a Dermoid Sinus.  We don't support the euthanasia of ridgeless puppies as we believe these puppies are just as important to us for understanding the growth, type and health of dogs within a litter and how it impacts our breeding program. 

We don't issue contracts of sale for our puppies but we do expect our buyers to love any puppy purchased from us. Unfortunately, circumstances change in peoples'lives so our condition of sale is that if at any time an owner can no longer keep a dog bred by us, that we be contacted so we can assist with rehousing and keep our records up to date.

Not all buyers are able to visit, so for our intrastate, interstate and overseas buyers, we send regular updates with pictures and where possible, mpegs of the litter so that the can follow the development of the litter.

Interested buyers are welcome to come and meet our dogs (but don't wear your best clothes as our whippets love nothing better than to sit your lap for a cuddle and our RR's love to lean against you. : D

WHIPPETS

Our recent whippet litter was Alice to Spot.  Following a caesarian due to a stuck puppy who sadly had a cleft pallete, we brought home 3 boys and a girl.  Our little girl, knicknamed Squidgee by the vet nurses, was a tiny slip of a thing and we had to feed her 3 hourly for the first week.  She's now a robust bossy little thing, renamed Molly, who will go to her new home late August.  We will miss her heaps as she has enough personality for 10 dogs!  Lucy has been desexed and will accompany Molly to her new home in Kingswood where their new family are eagerly awaiting the two silver fawn girls.

 The 3 boys have all gone to great homes.  Benny is keeping Jessie company in bed at night and his job is to bark should anyone come in the window.  After many visits, Tania and Jane finally decided on which boy to take.  He's settled into life in Dulwich Hill well and will soon be catching up with other whippets in the local park. Jam is enjoying the sights of Randwick with new owner, Anna-Maria.

 Our next planned litter will be from Rosie.  This will be her first litter. 

 RR's

Earlier this year, our 13 RR puppies all found wonderful homes around Australia.  They went to some interesting places and we were thrilled with the research, dedication and passion of their new owners.  Many owners travelled vast distances to either visit oiur dogs, collect their puppy from us or meet their puppy at the airport.  The most interesting destination was Kunnunura WA and after arriving in Darwin, puppy had a 10 hour drive through north-western WA to reach home.  Certainly commitment on the part of an owner.

We've received some lovely pics of the pups as they grow and will share them with you on our gallery page.

Whilst Duke is being used at stud, we don't expect to have another RR litter for a while.  If you would be interested in a puppy from Duke, please contact us and we'll refer you to breeders who have used him as a sire for their litter.

 SALUKIS

We have now desexed Peaches so won't be having any more Saluki litters.  We are happy to discuss the breed and if you are interested in a puppy, please email us and we'll be happy to refer you to a breeder who may have puppies.
