The Hounds of Freckashpeng, Borzoi & Whippets - About Us
|
Est. 1990 Welcome to The Hounds of Freckashpeng. Located in Winchester, Ontario. Thank you for visiting our site, we hope you enjoy our display of our beloved hounds, as these are two remarkable breeds. We have been in borzoi since 1990 and whippets since 2004. Our kennel name was derived from the names of our first two borzoi and cat and is pronounced; Frec Kash Peng. Our kennel is our home, where all the dogs live in the house with us, we do not have any out buildings. Our breeding philosophy is to selectively breed on occasion, sound healthy, health tested, dogs with great temperament and pedigrees, many hours go into researching the best breeding we can possibly do, to be able to produce sound, happy, healthy, socialized puppies, that reflect the breed standard. We are always available to answer any questions throughout the lifetime of your hound. Although we have not had mentors per se, we have seeked out advice from other long time breeders as needed, as it is always nice to work with your peers whom you value their opinions and not become kennel blind. As breeders we feel that we should not only part of the clubs membership, but active members in the clubs and their rescue counterparts. We believe in and abide by our clubs constitution, by-laws and code of ethics. Over the years, we have actively participated in club activities, such as chairing Regional and National Specialties, fundraising, lure coursing and recently started promoting chase ability, we have been field clerks, hospitality, as well as being on the board of directors in various capacities over the years; Vice-President, Directors, Secretary, Webmaster. We continuously promote our breeds and are activists for their welfare! Being a breeder to us means being an active part of our breed community and making a worthwhile contribution. Our dogs activities include participating in confirmation shows, lure coursing and now chase ability, keeping us busy most weekends by attending events or gearing up for them.
