Meet the breeder
I'm Debby M., the breeder behind Moodyblues Whippets located in Norfolk, VA. I am a very occasional breeder of top-quality Whippet puppies for people who share the same love and passion I do for these amazing companions. I breed for health, temperament, and conformation. I devote my time, energy, and attention to each litter to ensure my puppies get the best start in life. Please fill out puppy survey on my website if interested in getting on my waitlist.
Q. & A. with Debby
Why did you start breeding?
I had Whippets for the past 25 years, and feel like there is not a more perfect breed of dog. I wanted to share this amazing breed with people, and determined to do my part as a responsible breeder and produce healthy, well-rounded pups. Whippets have proven to be wonderful companions in my life, and it is a privilege to share that love and friendship with others.What makes your program special?
I truly love whippets and am dedicated to looking out for the breed as a whole. I only breed dogs who have exceptional temperaments, are health-certified, and are outstanding representatives of the breed. I ensure my puppies have what they need to develop into healthy and happy dogs. My puppies are also usually blue (gray) or blue and white in color, which can be somewhat rare in the USA.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are blue. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
