In 2010 I got my first whippet from R. Jolene Davis and was blessed with the most loving and beautiful companion for more than thirteen years. When Emmitt passed away after a full and joyous life I reached back out to her, primarily just to thank her for allowing me to take home such a special dog. It just so happened that she had whelped another litter recently and, to make a long story short, last week we brought home Judd - a remarkable black and white parti male - who has the same beauty, grace and goofiness of his predecessor. After meeting Jolene in person I understand why she breeds such wonderful dogs as her excitement, love and knowledge of whippets is undeniable. I would strongly recommend her and her kennel to anyone looking for a whippet. Now I just need to convince my wife to let me get another one....
I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for Jolene's help in finding the perfect whippet puppy for me. I had been searching for a whippet for several months, and I was starting to get discouraged. I had visited several breeders, but I had not found a puppy that was a good fit for me and my family.
When I came to your kennel, I was immediately impressed by the way you cared for your dogs. Your whippets were all healthy, happy and well-socialized. I could tell that you took great pride in your breeding program. When I met Billi, I knew right away that he was the one for me. Billi has been a joy to have in our family. He is the perfect combination of playful and cuddly. He loves to go for walks, play fetch and cuddle up on the couch. He is also very well-behaved.
I am so grateful to you for helping me find Billi. He is a wonderful addition to our family, and I know that we will have many happy years together.
Thank you again for everything, Jolene.
Five years ago this month I contacted Jolene because I had just lost my beloved IG. My grandmother always told me how fabulous Whippets were, so I decided to finally get one. My fabulous boy has been the most loyal, loving companion one could ever want. We go out at 5 AM for a run on the golf course every day, never missing a day. My vet tells me he has the healthiest heart she has ever heard. I am constantly being stopped on walks or in Home Depot because people want to admire his gorgeous coloration or rave about his amazing demeanor. My entire family adore him and know that Grandma is protected on early walks, whether in the city or on the ranch. He has been incredibly easy to train and understands many commands, far more than I would expect him to. Obviously, Jolene’s Whippets have exceptional qualities because people who know about them have indicated that I am very fortunate to have him. I agree.
My family fell in love with "Scout" the first time we saw her puppy pics on the website. Our Blue-Brindle Irish female is now nearly 13 weeks old and has exploded in growth from when we picked her up at 8 weeks (right at 13lbs at the moment). Sooo pretty .. and she's got those eyes ... absolutely gorgeous. She has been the easiest pup too ... took to potty training within a day; just an all-around really intelligent little girl. Her personality is off the charts!! We simply could not be more pleased with her!! From our first inquiry to Take-Home day, Jolene was amazing to work with. She's very knowledgeable and always politely answered all of our questions. If you're considering a whippet, Whisperun is the place to be looking!
After our beautiful dog Echo(an Italian Greyhound)passed away it took me nearly three years to be ready for a new baby. Putting much research into breeds, I knew I wanted a Whippet. My partner and I have always had Italian Greyhounds and Labradors. I reached out to several breeders in California(where I reside)to no avail. Adding “best Whippet breeders” to my online search, Whisperun Whippets popped up. Seeing the kennel was in Texas I almost immediately dismissed it until reading reviews and exploring the website. I called Jolene, we spoke for an hour and hit it off instantly. Her knowledge and caring of the breed and her dogs is astounding. I believe Jolene really chose the puppy from the litter that best suited my household. Totally amazing! We have an Italian Greyhound named Zoey so sweet but so spoiled rotten. I knew there might be an issue. We waited for the puppy Whippet. The Coronavirus struck and the logistics of getting the puppy to California became a very big issue. Jolene handled everything. The puppy flew from Dallas to John Wayne International in Costa Mesa, she had company on the plane though exotic Coy fish. I drove from my home in Rancho Mirage, California and picked her up. The puppy was a touch frazzled but so calm, so sweet, and so beautiful. When I got home, our dog Zoey went on a hunger strike for three days. The new puppy was not a hit. Today, they LOVE each other. Our IG, Zoey and our new baby Whippet Jolene, are the best of friends. Yes we named her Jolene, a nod to the breeder, and a nod to Dolly Parton. My only regret through all this is, I didn’t get two Whippets from Jolene. She is the greatest. Thank you Jolene, Douglas Light
We just acquired our new puppy from Whisperun Whippets and this is our second whippet! We've had her for two weeks and are loving her more each day. Jolene was easy to work with and wonderfully communicative. "Sunny" has a sweet temperament and we can tell she is very, very smart. She's already brought us so much joy!
I came across Whisperun's website as I began my research of Whippet breeders and my intuition told me to reach out to Jolene, who patiently and knowledgeably answered all of my questions. Her care and devotion to her dogs sets her apart. We were then in communication for several months as we waited for our littler of puppies to be whelped and before bringing our sweet girl home. Now Willow is here and she is just as beautiful, healthy, and sweet as can be. She is a wonderful addition to our family. I highly recommend these special dogs bred by Jolene at Whisperun.
