Welcome to our home
Hieland Whippets (pronounced Hee-lan')
is a small hobby kennel in upstate New York. Although I have only
been involved in whippets for a short time, they have become a major element
in my life.
My goal is the dual purpose whippet.
Form and function are two inseparable elements of the breed. In order
to pursue these goals, I show my dogs in conformation as well as lure coursing
them. In addition, I am also training them in agility and obedience.
Hopefully racing is in their future as well.
My start in whippets began in 1995 when a friend
convinced me that my lurcher Gaia (Greyhound/Doberman mix) needed a companion.
On Memorial day that year, Ampersand's Highland Spring Fling, "Fling," entered
my life.

Truer words
were never spoken when the first person related the ownership of whippets
to Lays Potato Chips "You can't have just one." One year later Ampersand's
Witch Doctor, "Dante," joined the household.
