Q. & A. with Christine
Why did you start breeding?
Jen Lazowski started Whirlaway Kennels in 1997 starting with her foundation dam who was named Tulli. Tulli's daughter, Maddie, produced a lovely daughter named Echo who is co-owned by me. We all work together to pool our experience and produce the soundest litters possible.What makes your program special?
Here at Whirlaway, we are dedicated to producing a mentally, physically, and beautifully sound representative of the breed that will be a treasured family companion for many years. We compete successfully in both conformation and performance events; proving the stability and soundness of our dogs, and are proud members of the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of the US.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
