Welcome! My name is Sally Long, and I live on a small farm along with my husband, Bill, and a pack of whippets. The youngest of our eight children (they are all grown up – how rude!) has graduated from college. Where did the time go? We are active in our church, especially in music ministry, and in events involving our whippets.
We are a small hobby kennel located in rural western Illinois, USA, and we are crazy about the whippet breed. All of our dogs are AKC registered, and some are also UKC registered. (That’s the genuine, original United Kennel Club, the well-respected performance and conformation show organization founded in 1898; not to be confused with the shoddy pet registry, popular with puppy mills and back-yard-breeders, that is now using the same acronym!) Our dogs are all beloved family pets, and some of them also go to shows and performance events. It is our hope to develop a line of happy, affectionate, beautiful, agile, and fast whippets that can be competitive in the show ring, and also in racing and coursing. We are very blessed to have a strong foundation to build on, thanks to the breeders of the wonderful whippets in our dogs’ pedigrees.
Some fun photos of dogs that have enriched our lives:
