"Winston's Winter Wear" - whippet coats ready just in time for Christmas~

Know of any whippets in need of a warm jacket or two?  (We know how those whippet boys have a tendency to piddle on themselves and their coats sometimes...and what self-respecting diva whippet girl has less than 3 coats in her wardrobe!)

"Winston's Winter Wear" is officially up and running - named in honor & memory of that very special whippet boy, Winston Wolf.

We've got girl coats, boy coats, and gender-neutral coats ready just in time for the return of cold weather & the Holidays.



All of the coats feature two layers of fleece, a warm turtleneck you can turn up on really cold days to keep those delicate whippet ears warm, and satiny coat liner to keep your buddies from getting too itchy when wearing their coats.

Visit us our new page on Facebook to check out examples of our coats and stay tuned for updated pictures of all the various patterns and solids available!  Our link is:  https://www.facebook.com/Winstonswinterwear

First up we've got Indi (HT Chiclets) having a blast in the fall leaves with a buddy:



This one looks like a re-enactment of "JAWS"

Next up, we've got Chief (HT Rolo), graduating from Obedience training, and hanging out with his stuffy toys!




"Good Boy!"

Next up, we've got Jack (HT Vincent Vega) and Mouse (HT The Matrix's Mouse), doing some serious cuddling:

Awwww.

 Jack - posing for the Paparazzi.

"Snug as a Mouse in a rug!"

"Please can I have dinner now?"

And how about HT Moon Pie and his lil buddy, Indy (HT JuJubes) with their kids & coats.

"Baby, it's COLD outside!"

With winter upon us, we're really excited to announce that we're going to start having WHIPPET COATS available soon!

We're working out the kinks in different coat designs, to try to offer the best coats for these wonderful hounds and their owners.

Omar (HT Oh Henry) & Kima (HT Skittles) have been the first to try them out, and we got reports back from their pet sitter that the pups love them and they're great.

Here's a pic of Omar hanging out at in his new coat at 5280 Hundesport for a week of boarding while his mom and dad are traveling (somehow he's managed to wriggle himself into bed!):


We're going to have a ton of different coat color patterns - both solids and prints, girly and manly - to choose from.  Each coat is double-polar fleece, and are all lined with coat liner, to keep the pups warm and less itchy (those sticky-prickly whippet hairs can get super itchy when they wear their coats).

More pics coming soon!  If you're interested in ordering a coat, contact Jen at jenniferhime@horsetoothwhippets.com so we can start taking orders.

Coats will be $50 and are designed to fit whippets of all sizes from tiny like little Polliwog, all the way up to big boys like Jett!

We've also got a bunch more new great pupdate pics to post, so stay tuned.....

Pictures Galore! 10/27/14

We've gotten a ton of great October whippet birthday pictures, and non-birthday pictures to add to the collection:

First off - Birthday Pups:

Moogie (HT Moo Goo Gai Pan) from the Chinese Delights I litter - looking very dapper for his 3rd birthday!

How about Moogie's full sister, Ginger (HT Ginger Shrimp) on a hike.  Not sure which is more red - Ginger or the rocks:


Next up, we've got Salinger (HT Dark Star of Kung Pao) from the Chinese Delights II litter:





Next up is Salinger's full brother -  Jett Jr. (HT MuXu Jett) - these boys sure take after their daddy, right down to the one-foot-forward pose!


On to the non-birthday kids...As always, we can't say enough how grateful we are for so many updates of our puppies.


Correction:  Neo turns one in January! Neo (HT The Matrix's Neo), hanging out with his buddy Jasper -

 The classic "Roach" pose.


And looking just like his papa Johnson!

Next up, we have another Jett son:  It's Sprocket (HT Rye Manhattan) - showing off his pearly whites!

Next up, we've got Misu (HT Tiramisu Frangelico) and her kitties...
 Misu having to share her kennel with Oolie!

Misu recently had an interesting new adventure.  Her mother shared the following tutorial for her:

 "These are your kitties."
 "They are your friends."

"THIS is NOT your kitty."
Congratulations on your first bath.

Here's Misu's brother, Wilco (HT Rigatoni Sorrentino) snuggling with his moma - not with any kitties or skunks!

Next up, we've got Omar (HT Oh Henry) & Kima (HT Skittles) at a Halloween parade, and all dressed up for an upcoming wedding:


And how about Trixie (HT Squirrel Nut Zipper) - getting so big and long - snuggling her mom!

And here are a couple of older pics of Breezy (HT Twizzler):
 Hanging out with her aunt.
Lounging on the patio furniture.

Chewing a toy with her buddy, Bentley.

Last but not least, we've got a couple of portraits-in-progress of a few of the Horsetooth Whippets by our friend and whippet-owner, Debra Canale:

If you're interested in a portrait of your whippet by Debra, let us know and we can get you in touch!

And how about this great shot of Twiggy (HT Horsetooth Twix) and her aunt Sceri (HT Sceri Monkey Sesame Puff) having an autumn play session:

We can't leave out Moon Pie (HT Moon Pie) and Indy (HT JuJubes).  Their family reports that they loving going to the football games:






Next up, "The Great Whippet Reunion" - several local whippet folks got together at a local dog park for a whippet play date.  Good times for Ginger, Sprocket, Leo, Addie, Omar, Kima, Sceri, & Twigs!  Looks like a good time was had by all!  I'm sure there will be more of these play dates, so if you're interested in coming out, let us know and we'll hook you up with each other's contact info.  Thanks, Paul, for all the pics.   Let's see if I can pass the identification & labeling quiz on all these whippets...
In the lead, we've got Sprocket (HT Rye Manhattan) panting, followed by Addie & Leo (HT Lestate Presto!), with Sceri bringing up the rear.

 Next up, we've got Ginger (HT Ginger Shrimp) in the foreground, with Twiggy & Kima (HT Skittles) wrestling in the middle, and Sprocket supervising...and panting.

 More Kima (on top) and Twiggy wrestles.

 Addie & Leo in the background, Omar (HT Oh Henry) & Twiggy at left, Sprocket in the middle (panting!), Kima resting, and Sceri, grinning like a fool.

 The 3 younglings - Omar, Kima, and Twiggy.

Addie in the fore, Kima sniffing something great on the ground, Ginger (sniffing Twiggy's rear), Leo, Sprocket, and Sceri sniffing the rest of Twiggy.  Apparently, Twiggy smells amazing.

 Here we've got Ginger (left), Omar & Twigglet in the middle, with Sprocket checking out their puppy shenanigans.

 1/2 brothers, Sprocket & Omar, with Ginger in the back ground and Addie looking on.
