Winds of Freedom Farm
Meet the breeder
I'm Donna R., the breeder behind Winds of Freedom Farm located in Lebanon, OR. My husband Gregg has always loved Rottweilers, I always had a passion for German Shepherds and our daughter Randee fell in love with the Whippet breed. Together we all manage to make the crazy work. We strive first and foremost for our dogs to be healthy of mind and body, then we work to achieve the correct animal based on breed standards and performance goals. We want to make sure that you have a 4- legged partner that can be there for all your adventures for years to come.
Q. & A. with Donna
Why did you start breeding?
Through the support and encouragement of two experienced breeders, we learned how to determine quality bred animals and how to partner it with the correct mate to improve the breed and our bloodlines. They also taught us the value of taking the time to utilize Puppy Culture with each puppy from birth until they leave for their forever home.What makes your program special?
We feel that Puppy Culture and the tools we have learned through the many years of raising and training dogs enable us to produce a truly amazing start for these valuable young pups. Living on a farm and having unique exposures for each pup also adds another valuable layer to the puppies' formative days. Season that with love and you get a wonderful outcome.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
