Welcome to Our Whippet World: Our Philosophy and Vision

Shoya, our polish import boy as a puppy.

At Ashsinhalt Whippets, we’re more than just breeders; we’re a family deeply committed to the whippet breed and everything it represents. Based in Adelaide, South Australia, our dedication lies in breeding whippets that embody integrity, health, and true-to-function companionship. With a heart full of love and a clear vision for the future, we aim to cultivate a space where whippets thrive in health, temperament, and purpose. Whether you’re a seasoned whippet enthusiast or just starting to explore this incredible breed, we’re thrilled to share our philosophy and vision with you.

Our Philosophy: Honoring Tradition, Embracing Progress

Breeding whippets is not just about producing puppies; it’s about preserving a legacy. Whippets are more than their elegant appearance and athletic prowess; they carry a rich history of loyalty, versatility, and companionship. At Ashsinhalt Whippets, we strive to honor this history while embracing modern advancements in health, training, and care.

We believe in breeding dogs that embody the true essence of a whippet: outgoing, confident, intelligent, and stable. These traits make them not only exceptional companions but also versatile performers in sports and work. Every puppy we raise is a testament to this commitment—an effort to bring back the original purpose and temperament of the Australian pedigree whippet.

Our Vision: A Legacy of Excellence

Our vision is simple yet profound: to raise whippets that excel in every facet of life. From the couch to the coursing field, our dogs are bred to adapt, thrive, and bring joy to their families. This means prioritizing:

• Health and Temperament: We’re dedicated to producing whippets with robust health and steady temperaments, ensuring they’re ready to be both your best friend and your partner in adventure. Our comprehensive health testing includes hip, elbow, and spinal scoring, full Embark DNA panels, ACES eye screening, echocardiogram heart screening, thyroid, and rhabdomyolysis testing.

• Superior Puppy Raising Protocols: Early development is key. Utilizing Puppy Culture methods, we focus on enriching our puppies’ environments to foster confidence and adaptability from the start.

• Raw Feeding: Nutrition plays a huge role in a dog’s overall well-being. Our dogs and puppies are raised on a diverse, carefully curated raw-fed diet to support optimal health and longevity.

• Performance and Conformation: Whether it’s excelling in performance sports like lure coursing, weight pull, sledding, or shining in the conformation ring, we breed with an eye for versatility and excellence. We actively participate in various dog sports, showcasing the adaptability of our dogs.

But above all, our whippets are family. They’re not kennel-raised or housed separately; they’re a central part of our lives, sharing our home, our hearts, and our adventures.

Looking Ahead

As we continue to grow and refine our approach, we’re excited to connect with fellow whippet lovers who share our passion for this amazing breed. Whether through our blog, newsletter, or in person, we hope to inspire others to appreciate the whippet’s unique qualities and join us in preserving its legacy.
