Breeders, Puppies & Older Dogs
PUPPIES
Puppies aren't always available when you want them. It's a matter of when the girls come into season, and if it suits the owner to have a litter at that time. So if you are looking for a puppy, you might have to contact a breeder and put your name down for their next litter. Alternatively, you may wish to look interstate.
Most Club members are familiar with transporting puppies interstate and if you are unable to visit your puppy and it's mother, request pictures and a video or mpeg of the litter.
Also, please ensure that any breeder you purchase a puppy from is registered with Dogs NSW or one of the interstate canine controlling bodies. Registered breeders are required to abide by a Code of Ethics which state we can't let a puppy go to it's new home before 8 weeks of age, the puppy must be microchipped, supply information and a diet sheet and a registration certificate with Dogs NSW.
A list of Club members who are breeders is listed at the bottom of this page. Please feel free to contact them to find out if or when they will have puppies available.
RESCUE / REHOME
Occasionally, Club members have rescued Whippets when they have been surrendered to a shelter, but this isn't that common. Sometimes, we get calls to help rehome a Whippet as for varied reasons, the owner can no longer keep the dog.
Alternatively, many people don't want to go through the puppy stage and are happy to take an older dog, and some owners seek out an older dog for company for another dog, especially when a companion dog has recently passed away. When this occurs, we are happy to list details and a picture of any Whippet needing a new forever home.
CURRENT WHIPPETS LOOKING FOR A FOREVER HOME
Jack is an 18 month old boy in need of a new home. Due to ill health, his owner has had to return him to his breeder. Jack is a red fawn and white. He is very personable, loves people and other dogs and has been very much a house dog He is a good citizen at kennels as his previous owners went to Sydney overnight for things and he happily trots into the kennel. Will be coming with bed, toys, possibly a crate, coats & all paperwork, he is desexed and recently had is vaccinations. His only negative at this stage is that he doesn't travel particularly well . If you are interested in Jack, or would like further information or pictures, please contact Lisa on 62382395.
Tayah is currently in foster care after being rescued. She is 17 months old, desexed, microchippedm vaccinated but now due for her new booster. She is very clean in the house, is good with other dogs and with children. She is basically obedient. Tayah is on Supercoat Sensitive for her pink skin. She is used to a crate but loves nothing more than company of people. Her foster carer says she is a dear little girl. If you are interested in her, please ring Gaye on 0294982692 or 0243551235.
Then we have poor Archie. Archie was surrendered to Renbury last week by his owners because they could no longer look after him. He had apparently been tethered for most of his life as the owners mentioned when he would run away when taken off the lead on a walk and wouldn't come back to them! Sadly, he appears to have lived a life of neglect and is suffering as a result - he was borderline emaciated, pressure sores on all four legs, raw and infected tail wound, flybite on ears, various tethering nicks and scars. His foster carer just couldn't leave him there in the state he was in. He was due to be put to sleep on last Tuesday. Surprisingly, he is soooo loving and friendly. At only 17 months old, he is bursting with puppy exuberance and has absolutely no manners! He has been seen by a vet, vaccinated and put on a course of antibiotics but we have to hold off on his vet work (desexing) until he puts on some weight and condition etc. He is currently on two meals of puppy food per day and already putting on weight. He is fine with 6 foot fencing, however, he has easily cleared a front picket fence (4 foot). Thankfully he only got about 5 houses up the street before turning back and sprinting back home. He is just a social butterfly and loves kids. He appears to be house-trained as I haven't had any accidents so far and he happily takes himself outside during the day & night. He is big and small dog-friendly. If you are interested in a permanent loving home for Archie, please contact Cat on 0417 414 230. Pictures are available of Archie when rescued and will be emailed to serious interested persons.
