Welcome to our new web site...
The National Whippet Club of Canada was formed in 1992 and received official Club recognition from the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) in 1993.
The three main objectives we started off with still are our primary focuses to this day:
We promote activities pertaining to the Whippet breed across Canada, including racing, showing, coursing, obedience, rescue, flyball, agility, health education, and any other activity that may be undertaken with regard to Whippets. We encourage members to respect and adhere to the breed standard as approved by the Canadian Kennel Club, and we aim to unite Whippet enthusiasts from coast to coast for mutual support and benefit of the breed.
> Please note that the new web site is still under construction... please bear with us as we continue development!
