Meet the breeder

I'm Sherry H., the breeder behind Lishima Whippets located in Ruckersville, VA. We are dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming our pups. We love what we do and truly want nothing more than to see each and every one of our puppies shine!

Q. & A. with Sherry

Why did you start breeding?
I was born into a family that showed and bred dogs.
What makes your program special?
I only breed a litter when I want one. I take it very seriously and have researched this breed for many, many years. I only breed a litter when I have a top quality finished champion that is fully health tested. I have bred many top winning show dogs and have pleased many families with companion dogs. This is what makes life important to me.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
