Meet the breeder
I'm Debbie D., the breeder behind Kamada Whippets located in De Kalb, IL. We have been breeding and showing whippets since 1981. All our dogs are health tested (eyes and cardiac) before breeding. We believe in quality over quantity and typically only breed one litter or less per year. Puppies are whelped and raised in our kitchen with lots of love and attention.
