It will be our first litter in over 10 years and our very first whippet litter. We've been going through magazines and whippet annuals looking at the ads with an eye to choosing a sire for Ivy's litter. Jodi Driscoll, Ivy's co-breeder, is really excited about it and is helping us look for a stud. We're trying to find out details about the ones we're most interested in. Most important to us is temperament.
Whippets have to be good pets before they can be good show dogs.
Ivy is a quiet girl and we want to maintain that in her puppies, so he's out of the running for now anyway. That's a disappointment. He is not too far away and belongs to a person we like a lot. Another one we considered is promising, but the owner is very difficult to work with. Don't need that.
