Thanks to all the Nota Bene puppy owners who made me eligible for Breeder of Merit with just one litter. I'm so humbled.
Julie was a member of the American Whippet Club from 2000 to 2014. She became a Breeder of Merit in 2024. Julie & Paul have raced their whippets with WRA, NOTRA, and NAWRA with their local clubs and around the eastern half of the country since 1999. We've lure coursed under the auspices of ASFA and AKC. We've enjoyed open field coursing a few times & enjoy watching our dogs do what they were meant for with all their heart. Julie and Hero (and her puppies) have dabbled in the conformation ring under AKC, UKC, and IABCA. We enjoy the intro levels of Barn Hunt when we don't have other fun activities to attend. We can enthusiastically recommend a breeder in your area. Bart and Elroy came to Julie through a precursor of Whippet Rescue & Placement — she is now a volunteer for WRAP — and she wholeheartedly recommends investigating if whippet rescue might be right for you.
