The American Whippet Club is the national breed club for Whippets within the American Kennel Club. It promotes the showing, responsible breeding, obedience training and competition, lure coursing, and versatility of the whippet breed.
The AWC puts on a National Specialty which is held in a different part of the country each year so that fanciers in all regions can have the opportunity to attend a National in their area. The National Specialty includes a Futurity event for puppies 18 months of age and younger. In addition, the AWC sponsors six regional whippet specialties (Western, Midwest, Eastern, Southern, North Central, and South Central).
For a firsthand look at our wonderful breed, the Whippet, watch the 136th annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show on USA Network, February 13-14, 2012. The only Whippet to win Best In Show at Westminster was Champion Courtenay Fleetfoot of Pennyworth in 1964 at the World’s most famous dog show. Help us cheer on the Whippets again this year! On the Westminster Web site, you can watch all the Whippets in streaming video highlights of the breed judging that takes place during the day.
