Serendipity Litters
Available Whippets | Planned Litters | Past Litters
My dogs are my family, and generally stay with me their entire lives. As a result, I rarely have adults to place, and in order to keep my own numbers low, I breed very infrequently, generally a litter approximately every five years, usually when my current active dogs are finishing their competitive careers and I’m ready for a new puppy to train and compete with. Any puppies remaining after I make my own pick(s) are available to approved homes.
I make placement decisions very carefully based on each puppy’s suitability for potential owners and their goals, with quality of the home the highest priority. As a responsible breeder, I expect to stay in touch with my puppy buyers, am available to them at any time for assistance and advice, and I will take back any dog I bred, for any reason, at any time, no questions asked. All puppy owners are required to sign a contract so that all expectations, both on their part and my own, are mutually understood and acknowledged at the start of our relationship.
While I do maintain a waiting list for future litters (contact me if interested), realistically you should generally be prepared to wait a very long time for a Serendipity puppy. In the meantime, I encourage you to explore the resources listed below and reach out to other breeders who may have availability sooner than I will.
If you are interested in adding a whippet to your family, here are some resources to assist in your search:
Nationally, the American Whippet Club website provides in-depth information on How to Find a Whippet and Finding a Breeder Near You.
In Canada, see the National Whippet Club of Canada’s How to Find a Whippet page.
Stacey Davis does breeder referral for the Pacific Northwest. Contact her at obailee@aol.com for more information about the breed and local whippet breeders.
The following West Coast whippet clubs maintain breeder referral pages or breeder listings on their websites with contact information and details about local breeders’ current availability of adults or puppies, and upcoming litter plans. For all these breeder listings, reach out to the listed breeders even if they do not have anything listed as available - the more contacts you make in the whippet community, the better your chances to find the right dog for your home.
There are a number of Facebook groups that are great resources for networking with breeders who might have available adults or puppies on the US West Coast or across North America:
For information about whippet rescue, check out the WRAP website or Facebook page.
Please be prepared to wait some time to locate a responsibly bred whippet puppy, and don’t fall for the easy temptation of puppies more readily available from less reputable breeders.
