Sue R.

Breeder of Whippets

Meet the breeder

I'm Sue R., the breeder behind Woodsia Whippets located in Centerburg, OH. I've been a responsible, in-home hobby breeder since 1983 and have produced over 30 champions. I breed for beauty and temperament. I raise all of my dogs with love in my home. I have high expectations for my puppies and make sure to place each one with an enriching and loving family that will match their temperament and personality!

Q. & A. with Sue

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I was introduced to the idea of breeding purebred dogs while at an obedience class at an all-breed club. I have enjoyed the journey and learning more about my dogs in the process. It's become a passion that I love sharing with others!
  • What makes your program special?

    All dogs and puppies are raised in my home with me. Since I am retired, I get to love my critters all day! I health test and temperament test all of my pups to be sure I'm offering the best companions possible.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are black brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
