I'm the breeder behind Hounds of O’Neill located in Omaha, NE. I am breeding health tested, temperament sound Whippets that enjoy the show ring, other performance events, and cuddling on couches. I am a member of the American Whippet Club and I take pride in the quality of the dogs I breed. Finding the perfect home for each of my pups is extremely important to me. They deserve nothing but the best!
