About Us
| Our names are John and
Tracy Hite. We live in Spokane, Washington. We have two
children - Caroline and Pierce. Our dogs pretty much rule
our home. We do not have kennels, because all of our dogs
are house dogs. Our goal in breeding Whippets is to
produce dogs with sound minds and bodies. This is very
important to us as we feel the "show career" of
our dogs is very short in comparison to their time as
pets. We are very proud to have bred the All time most
winning American Bred whippet bitch in the history of our
breed, Multiple All-Breed Best In Show, Best In Field and
Specialty Best in Show winners, AWC Top 20 winner,
Westminster KC BOB winner, multiple Hit In Trial winner,
multiple Specialty point winners, 4 generations of All
-Breed Hound Group winners, 3 generations of ROM or ROMX
producers, over 7 years of Top 10 & 20 competitors in
the Breed and Group standings, and many conformation,
obedience, field and racing title holders. The majority
of these titles and accomplishments have been done by
Breeder-Owner-Handlers and/or Owner-Handlers. So, our
dogs and their quality speak for themselves.Thank you for
visiting our site. Hope you enjoy it!

| Tracy bought her first Whippet, Ch. Skeedoodle's Banana Banshee (Ch. Stargazer's Concho Wildcat x Ch. Skeedoodle's Bossa Nova Baby), from Karen Flint in November, 1988. Although Tracy was quite experienced in showing horses, she was a bit of a novice in the dog show ring. She had shown a few of her mother's whippets. However, "Nanny" was quite successful as a puppy and Tracy discovered that she enjoyed the company of other Whippet families and began attending weekend dog shows regularly. When Nanny went Best of Breed and placed in the Hound Group at her very first show at just six months of age, Tracy was hooked on what has become a very engrossing activity. |
| John came into the family not long after and found that he had to go to dog shows if he ever wanted to see Tracy on the weekends. Tracy purchased him a 13" Beagle as a Christmas present and John had his first show dog. "Bo" finished his championship at the tender age of 10 months including wins at the International K.C. shows in Chicago and the AstroHall shows in Houston. Tracy also wanted a new dog at this time and we went back to Karen Flint and purchased Ch. Skeedoodle's Amber Charleston (Ch. Saxon Shore Amber Waves ROMX x Ch. Skeedoodle's Bossa Nova Baby). "Charlie" was another dog who had a very successful show career. He completed his championship at just over one year of age including two 5-point majors. The rest of our history in dogs can be viewed in the Breeding Program section of our website. |
