(Our Latest Venture!)
Avalonia Whippets and Boarding Kennel is located in
rural Manotick, at the south end of
Ottawa
, capital of
Canada
(Map or Google
Earth). This licensed boarding
kennel shares facilities with a sizeable population of resident whippets who
have been an important part of our life since 1984. Now after more than 20
years of owning, showing and breeding whippets for pets and for show, obedience
and agility, we are extremely proud of the fact that Avalonia whippets and their
pedigrees can be found world wide, and there are Avalonia champions in more than
a dozen countries. Though located in
North America
, our inspiration has always been rooted in the country that developed and first
registered the whippet –
England
-- and we consciously breed therefore to meet the English and FCI standards,
producing moderate sized whippets with a reputation for soundness and flowing
free movement.
Our breeding program has been based from the start on
the bloodlines of the Nevedith
Kennel in
England
, beginning with our first dog, Nevedith Wood Chip, whose daughter, Am.Cdn.Ch.
Amazone’s Glastonbury Lily, when bred to Eng.Am.Cdn.Ch. Nevedith Up Town
Guy, provided us with the three dogs in our foundation litter who have served as
the basis of the entire Avalonia breeding program over the past two decades.
In recent years we have relied on the exceptional Eng.Ch. Nevedith Justa Jesta
whose three sons and daughter – Cdn.Ch. Nevedith
Local Lancer, Cdn.Ch. Avalonia Wotta Jesta, Boxing
Helena
’s Art Lover of Nevedith, and Cdn.Ch. Avalonia Wispa
Jesta -- are owned by and resident at Avalonia.
They, combined with our two most recent Nevedith
imports, Eng.Cdn.Ch. Nevedith Ceefa Ceely and Nevedith
Ayfa Aylestorm, and compatible bloodlines from Frontrunner’s
in
Denmark
, Scheik’s in
Finland
, Boxing
Helena’s in
Belgium
and Sporting
Fields and Windsong in the
United States
, are the stuff of magic in our current breeding program.
Enjoy your visit to our site, and to the individual
pages of these and other of our dogs. And if you have any questions,
please don’t hesitate to contact us.
