“Baxter”

Baxter came to us by way of our whippet mentor and friend, R. Jolene Davis of Whisperun Whippets. We can't thank Jolene enough for trusting us with this exceptional boy.

Baxter is a character! He has inserted himself into our pack seamlessly, and we have to remind ourselves he wasn't bred and born right here, as he's so comfortable with his new packmates and they are just as comfortable with him, treating him like he he's always been with us.

Baxter is a smart guy, who picks up on routines very quickly, and likes to show off his smarts by doing the same things the older dogs are doing. He loves his young whippet friends, Scarlet & Lyla, but his favorite dog ever was our late great matriarch whippet, Penelope.

Baxter tried to copy everything Penelope did - drinking when she drank, eating when she ate, playing with her, sleeping with her, and wagging his little white-tipped tail the whole time - he just really loved our granny Penelope, and we couldn’t have had a better dog to train a new pup than Princess P!

Baxter's unique markings, smooth movement, well-balanced conformation, impressive pedigree, and gorgeous shiny black coat have us excited to see how he matures and does in the rings - both conformation and obedience, and in the field.
