Considering a Whippet?

Timbreblue Slams the Door

Whippet breeders are very protective of the breed. Most will ask you to sign an agreement that a puppy sold as a pet will not be bred. This precaution is to safeguard the quality and health of whippets as a whole. In popular breeds where careless or uninformed breeding is common, temperaments and appearances vary so widely that it's hard to believe that some of the dogs are even the same breed! Careless or ill-informed breeding has made many breeds shy, snappy, and unstable. We don't want whippets to go there!

We do NOT ship dogs

It has always been our policy to meet new owners in person, at Timbreblue.

Changes to the federal Animal Welfare Act regulations that took effect on Nov. 18, 2013 make it ILLEGAL for pet breeders without a USDA license (requiring a very expensive commercial kennel operation) to ship pets unless they have four or fewer intact females and never do rescue. We comply fully with these regulations.

Puppies!

Inquire:
Our waiting list -- We don’t currently have puppies on the way, but we keep a waiting list for future litters. Visit Good Dog to fill out an inquiry, or email us at inquiries@timbreblue.com

Referrals
Adding a whippet to your family is a very important decision for your entire household. If we don't have a puppy available to suit your plans, we are still happy to help. The whippet breeder community is small and close-knit. We usually know when our friends, breeders we know and respect, are expecting puppies. We'll be happy to refer you to someone who might be closer to your geography or timeline.

Our waiting list
Our puppies are usually promised before they are born. Our wait list time for new inquiries is approximately one to two years.

Welcome to Timbreblue!

Hi! Welcome, whippet lover! We are Timbreblue, a family hobby "kennel" with homes in Virginia and South Carolina...a kennel in name only, as our whippets are all spoiled 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 keep the number of dogs at home limited, so every one can have as much attention as he or she needs.

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. We show selectively and occasionally participate in FastCat, Barnhunt and other activities. We breed to the American Whippet Club breed standard for whippets. Please see About Us for more on our breeding philosophy and information about how we raise whippet puppies.

Ivy - our first whippet championTimbreblue is a family hobby spanning two generations, with parents Sharyn and Walter Hutchens in Virginia co-breeding with their daughter Johannah and her husband Derek in Camden, SC -- near Columbia. Meet our family and find out how whippets took over our lives on the About Us page.

If you're near Virginia or South Carolina and are interested in a whippet puppy or adult, please visit Good Dog to inquire. Even if we don't have an available dog, we'll be happy to refer you to another responsible breeder to find your perfect whippet.

The online Timbreblue community is a vibrant, active group, eager to help with information and answer questions about whippets, regardless of where you plan to get your dog. If you're trying to decide whether a whippet is right for you, feel free to join us online in the Timbreblue Whippets Facebook community.

The whippets photos on this site are dogs and puppies we've owned, bred, or in some instances rescued. Some still live here at Timbreblue and some are loved and cherished in the homes of our friends who bought them. We're proud of the whole Timbreblue family and are happy to feature them here along with our own dogs. We hope you'll enjoy the website and come back soon!
