Q. & A. with Lisande
Why did you start breeding?
I understand the very important role that breeders undertake; today’s breeders are the guardians of future dogs. I started breeding quality Whippet puppies over 20 years ago. I have always been enthusiastic about my program and look forward to advancing the wonderful qualities of the Whippet with a focus on health, temperament, and structure!
What makes your program special?
We are very selective about our breeding dogs. All of our dogs are fully healthy and genetically tested. The health and temperament of our puppies are our number one priority. We are very conscious about who purchases our puppies, always ensuring that they are given the best life possible. I also offer lifetime breeder support for all of my clients! I look forward to connecting with you!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
