Sugar Creek Whippets
Meet the breeder
I'm Tammy B., the breeder behind Sugar Creek Whippets located in Rock Hill, SC. I show and do performance and companion events. I health test and only breed when I want something out of the litter.
Q. & A. with Tammy
Why did you start breeding?
My 1st Whippet had a show clause and we did the performance events also. I decided to get a female next to breed to him because he was so good at performance. I think they will have a very nice litter next year.What makes your program special?
I am looking for show-bred dogs that excel at performance, with drive and wonderful temperaments. I did Puppy Culture with my first litter earlier this year and the puppies are all rock solid and very well socialized. They are raised in my house and taught manners, walking on lead, eliminating outside and on lead, sit, recalls, chasing balls and trading toys and get lots of love.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
