1. How many years have you been in Whippets?
We acquired our first whippet in 1975. We picked her out almost
from birth - and acquired her a few months before we got
married. When we went to pick her up, the breeder ( Lucy Cress of Cresswood Kennels) GAVE her to us as a wedding gift! She lived back and forth between the two of us until we got married . Of course HE taught her to sleep in bed almost immediately! We spoiled Chelsey and totally enjoyed her. So our life together has never been without a whippet!

2. What breed(s) did you have prior to whippets?
None really, lots of Beagles as a kid. My father took the Beagles to an occasional field trial and was an avid hunter. Greg's Dad was a busy veterinarian, so Greg grew up constantly surrounded by many large and small animals. His family had a couple Border collies, a Boxer, and miniature schnauzers when he was growing up.
3. What made you decide to get a whippet?
Greg's Dad's practice had a whippet breeder - Lucy Cress. Lucy brought ALL her dogs to his clinic, (she also raised Boxers and Bull Terriers) so Greg was introduced to whippets years before we ever got our first one from her. He always liked their temperament and their athletic look. Soon after being introduced to the breed through Lucy, it didn't take long for us to make plans to buy one!
