My name is Tamzin Hart and I've shown, trained, bred, and competed with dogs my whole life. While they compete in show and performance, they are my companions first in all things.
Over the years I have accumulated some nice accolades with my Rhodesian Ridgebacks under the Invictus prefix, a Puli bred by Immerzu Puli kennel, and now Whippets. Our accomplishments include over a dozen Champions in the US and Canada combined, and multiple performance titles and group placings.
WhistleStop Whippets is my next adventure in dogs. Although my focus is now as a Whippet breeder, I pay homage to all the dogs I still own and those who came before. They are always close in my heart.
Better known to her friends and family as Bean, Yvaine landed in my life at just the right moment. She arrived in Nova Scotia from Bretica Whippets in Saskatchewan, and her breeder Penny Lewis deserves all the credit for the structure, type, health, and temperament of this magnificent little dog.
Yvaine fills my heart in a way I never thought possible after the death of my Ridgeback, Raimi in 2017. She excels in everything she does, from the show ring to the sporting field.
Tinsel
The only thing better than one Whippet, is two! I added Tinsel to my home as a companion for Yvaine, and I could not have found a more delightful character.
Tinsel is growing into a lovely young dog and easily finished her Canadian Championship as a 9.5 month old puppy.
Tinsel will now be allowed to mature and in 2023 she'll tackle some performance titles in Sprinter and Chase Ability. She's incredibly keen on the "bunny" and her favourite game in the backyard is chasing the flirt pole.
