Meet the breeder
I'm Christine P., the breeder behind Sandbar Whippets located in Brandon, FL. I offer top-quality Whippet puppies with a focus on health, form, and function. I believe quality is more important than quantity. I breed healthy, beautiful puppies. I take my job seriously, knowing that my puppies will become someone's beloved pet. Each puppy is considered a member of my family, and I ensure they are socialized, healthy, and prepared to excel in their forever homes.

Why did you start breeding?
In the past, I've had experience breeding Corgis and have recently switched to breeding Whippets. I regularly participate in conformation shows and will continue to breed and improve my prized Whippet line of incredible puppies.What makes your program special?
