Meet the breeder
I'm Julie P., the breeder behind Aperture Whippets located in Knoxville, TN. Breeder of Merit with AKC, multiple Dual Champions, CH's GCH's health tested Whippets. Bred for a purpose, only when I am looking for a new dog for myself. I look for a dual-purpose Whippet that can win in the show ring and on the field plus be wonderful to live with. We also have many therapy Whippets from our home.
Q. & A. with Julie
Why did you start breeding?
It started with my first Whippet that got me into showing, which led to my first dual champion from her and more dual champions after that.What makes your program special?
They are multipurpose Whippets with titles in conformation, lure coursing, racing, dock diving, and therapy work. Helga was the Willow Award winner with the American Whippet Club which recognized her as the top therapy dog in 2017. I have many dual champions, GCH's, one that was the winner of the AKC puppy of the year and many other neat things.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
