Kathstone Whippets - a mini project on both sides of lake Mjøsa...
Kathstone is a small breeding project started by Kathrine Lesaca Johansen, Gjøvik and Stein-Ole Kjær, Hamar.
Our goal is to breed healthy, happy whippets with a good temper to be perfect family members with their new owners.
The whippet is a fantastic family dog. It will soon find its place as a natural member of the family. The whippet is by nature a loving dog that very much enjoy the pleasure of warm carpets - and soft beds!!!
You will find a lot of descriptions on the internet that tells you about all the positive aspects of the breed. But even the whippet has its «dark» sides - we has simply not discovered them yet.
When a decease hits your breed…
What do we do as breeders when one of our dogs comes down with a sudden disease ? That problem occurred to us in December. Skyborne Don’t Mess With Me (Mess) suddenly had two powerful epileptic seizures in a period of 14 days. To be on the safe side the veterinarian recommended CT to rule out cancer or other conditions that could cause the attacks. The pictures proved that everything was normal and we therefore assumed that the epilepsy was inherited.
We had planned to mate a sister of Mess (Skyborne Queen Of Hearts - Skippy) this spring, but these plans are now of course cancelled. Skippy is now living in Oslo, and is fully owned by Lise-Julianne who has been Skippy's carer for the last two years. Skippy will never be mated.
We have spoken personally with all those who bought puppies from the 2009-litter where Mess was the father. Fortunately we have not experienced anything but positive feedback on our honesty, and that we spoke directly to each and everyone of the buyers. It is our belief that this is the way it should be, and hope other breeders will do the same.
