| Raising our puppies...... | ||
|
Bundoon is a small family kennel. Some years we may have just one litter and other years we may have more. The puppy showing the most show promise is retained by us with the remainder going to wonderful pet homes. If you are interested in a Bundoon Whippet email is OK for initial contact but it is best to phone us 0418868577. You will not be placed on our tentative waiting list without first having a lengthy phone conversation, so we can be assured that a Whippet is the right dog for you. We do not take requests for particular colours and naturally reserving a particular sex is "pot-luck" until puppies are born. .
We understand that showing dogs is not for everyone but as registered breeders we think it is important that our dogs be competitive in the show ring before considering breeding; and they have been with recent wins including Tara winning Best In Show at the NSW Good Friday Whippet Show 2017 and again in 2019 R/up NSW Show Dog Of the Year and Best In Hound Group Sydney Royal Easter Show 2018. Her son Harvey, Ch. Bundoon Simply Wonderful was Best In Show at The Whippet Club of Queensland Championship show 2019. Nova, Ridgesetter Born To Run is always in the placings at Speciality Shows with her highest achievement being an All-Breeds R/Up Best In Show.

| Puppies are born and raised in the home.
This accustoms them to all the sights and sounds of daily life.
At about 5 weeks of age when they are on “solid” food and mum is looking to spend some time away from them they begin to spend their days out in the puppy yard. There they can interact with the other dogs thru the mesh fencing, explore, play & experience the outside world. This is also around the time that we invite our puppy owners to visit so they can meet the puppies and spend some time getting to know them. Meet mum and if possible dad. Each afternoon they are brought back inside the house to their playpen in the lounge room; here they continue their interaction with everyone, the other dogs, visitors etc. By the time they go to their new homes they have had their first vaccination; been microchipped; wormed at fortnightly intervals; have been for a couple of car rides and are interacting directly with the older dogs including our large Saluki (under supervision)..
Each Bundoon Whippet owner is issued with a comprehensive puppy package with a background on the parents, photos, feeding programme, crate training, toilet training tips etc. A hound collar, toy and/or blanket. We also sign you up to Royal Canin dog food so you will receive a free 4kg bag of dog food and 2 additional discount vouchers for future purchases. For each litter we start a Facebook group (when mum is about 5 wks pregnant) and invite those on our waiting list to join so you can also follow the litters progress, via photos and videos almost daily. We also use this group for additional information which our owners find helpful prior to receiving our information booklet.

| Puppy owner criteria........ | ||
| Not every puppy in a litter is a show prospect and those that aren’t are sold on the limited register (not for breeding or showing purposes). They will fill the very important roll of beloved family pet. We do not take lightly our obligation to our puppies in finding them a home where they will be loved and cared for their entire lives. There is no difference in price between a show or pet puppy, they all receive the same amount of time and care. | ||
| Our puppies are only available to homes where, as a minimum, you have researched the breed, specifically their sight hound nature, and.......
