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.
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.
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 or older dogs available.

RESCUE / REHOME
Sadly, from time to time, we receive notice of a whippet or multiple whippets in pounds or shelters around NSW. Our first duty is to view the dog and confirm it is indeed a whippet, then obtain as much information as possible and then rescue the dog. We aim to assess the dogs for suitability with children and other animals, desex, and in some cases, get the dogs back into a healthy condition. Once this is achieved, we then advertise the dogs here on the Club website and also through Dogzonline.
Occasionally, older dogs become available when owners can now longer keep them due to moving overseas or into a unit or other reason. Sometimes there are young adults offered for rehoming that showed early promise as a show dog and may have grown too big or an injury has stopped their show career. These dogs will be advertised with the owner's details.
The Whippet Club wishes to thank all those carers and rescue groups who notify and assist us in the rescue and rehoming of dogs. We are most grateful and appreciative of your efforts.
CURRENT RESCUE WHIPPETS IN CARE
10/11/11 4 Whippets were rescued from Blacktown Pound and are are now in the care of Save Our Strays. They are offering them as a pair of males and a pair of females, while the rescue would really prefer if they went as pairs (two males/two females) they will consider letting them go as individuals to the right home.. The whippets have been assessed by club member, Kaz, who is happy to provide information and more pictures on the dogs. They are in reasonable condition, some thinner than others, but overall, they have good temperaments, are not barkers and are generally well behaved. We are unsure of their history. Once suitable homes are found, the dogs will be chipped and desexed. For further information, please contact Save Our Strays at Londonderry or email Whippet Club Rescue Co-ordinator, Kaz at kaz@bundoonwhippets.com.
