I've had Whippets since the mid-70's. Whilst living in Belgium I had the affix 'Briary'. I made up 5 Int. Ned. Germ. Belg. champions, 3 home bred. On returning to live in England, 6 years ago, I was not allowed to keep my affix, it became 'Penbriar'. I don't have more than one litter a year, and then not every year. Health & good characters are most important. Bitches are PRA/ Cataract tested before mating. All puppies are born and raised in the house, though they do also have a very comfortable puppy house & run outside. I share my house with 5 Whippets and a Lurcher. I enjoy showing, 2 of my Whippets have Stud Book numbers. I am a FCI judge of Whippets and have judged in Belgium, Netherlands and Sweden. In England I am on several Breed clubs judging lists, judging at Open shows. |
