2018 Pupdate BLOWOUT!

2018 was a hectic year for us at Horsetooth Whippets.   Due to work and health demands, we've been taking a break from competing in the ring, and on the track & field, as well as from breeding.

But of course, we still love hearing about our past pups and we've got an incredible backlog of pics from the year.  So I decided it would be fitting to get them published to the blog for New Year's Day.

I'm sure I'll miss some that I've received along the way, so my apologies in advance, but will try to get everything our wonderful puppy owners have sent via email since March 2018. 

Sorry to those I've missed from texts, facebook, etc. - I just concentrated on email for this blog, and discovered we've got more than 150 shots!

It's a great collection of growing & maturing past pups - all showing the many wonderful facets of the whippet breed - master snugglers, family dogs, runners, and all-around great hounds!

Enjoy....
