Considering a Whippet?

Timbreblue Sunshine & Shadow
"Henry" (with frisbee)

A whippet needs company. He wants to be with his people all the time, but if that's not possible, another dog will do. A whippet left alone all day is liable to be very unhappy and may make his misery known by howling, barking, or trying to escape from the house or his crate. Consider adding another whippet to the household if yours seems lonely.

Frequent Questions

Frequent questions that we receive:

How much are your puppies?
Our puppies are $1200. Find out more about what goes into a Timbreblue puppy.

Do you have puppies/adults available?
We may have a puppy or two available from Viola's litter, born 3/21/2013. We're happy to refer you to another great breeder who might have puppies or adults available. The first step is to fill out the questionnaire, because that helps us find the right dog for you.

Do you ship dogs?
No, we want to meet our owners in person so we do not ship dogs. It is sometimes possible to carry a young puppy home with you in the plane, but we do not allow our dogs to be shipped via cargo.
