Q. & A. with Clare
Why did you start breeding?
I have been breeding since 1997, because I LOVE what I do. It is important to me not only that I preserve my own phenomenal bloodlines, but that I am improving these breeds with each litter and ensuring the well-being of these dogs for generations more to come! Healthy dogs who are of sound mind and soul are my musts.
What makes your program special?
My puppies have a lifetime genetic health guarantee. I am an experienced breeder, and I take my role seriously. I keep a variety of factors in mind when choosing dogs to breed, including health, temperament, conformation, and complementary traits, so that puppies can inherit the best of both parents, providing the best to new owners, all backed by lifetime breeder support.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Cavapoo puppies include toy and miniature sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Whippet puppies include white and blue, white and blue brindle, white and blue fawn, white and fawn, white and fawn brindle, white and black, red brindle, fawn brindle, fawn, blue fawn, black, blue brindle, blue, and black brindle. Cavapoo puppies include red, blenheim, and apricot. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

It’s obvious Clare cares a great deal for her pups and does her best to match them to their people. She went above and beyond with communication with me, even doing live videos of the pups. She provided lots of information on the breed and proper care. We’re loving our puppy, who we named Albus. He’s a sweet playful snuggler. He’s so confident - not even fearing getting his nails dremeled. Clare did a great job socializing him to different things from a young age! Thank you!

We recently got our baby girl from Clare (Clarriott Whippets). I reached out to her and she got back to me within the day, letting me know which of her whippets were still available. She was so helpful, and she made us feel comfortable in our search from the first interaction. We have had a girl for a week now, and my husband and I can’t stop talking about what a good baby she is. Clare did such a good job preparing her to come to our house. We have been happy every step of the way. We would definitely get a puppy from her again.

It was very easy to work with Clare the owner of Clarroit Whippets. She was prompt on her responses to me, very knowledgeable, friendly, informative and took great pride in her dogs. I've had my puppy for a week and she is very well adjusted. It shows that Clare had taken the time to handle the puppy's right. Not only is my puppy, healthy, has nice conformation, but also has a wonderful loving personality. I couldn't be happier!

Clare was very responsive and always provided whatever info we needed. Communication was great all the way through. She offered to meet half way to deliver the puppies and that helped us with distance. She cares so much about her pups, which is always great to see. Our pups are beautiful and so smart, and we are all in love with them. We will keep in touch with her as she is such a great resource. Pups came home with a care package and a binder. We loved how organized she was with sending us our way with lots of great info. We love that our pups came from such an amazing and responsible breeder.

Clare was incredibly easy to work with. She let me FaceTime with her and the puppies early on, then kept me updated through the whole process. Once I picked my puppy she sent me frequent updates and even started using her name once I had chosen one. Clare clearly had already done a lot of work with the puppies prior to placing them because my puppy was already handling potty training and crate training very well and picked up on a few commends really quickly! My puppy is happy and healthy and beautiful!
