We began our journey in dogs in the mid 1980’s with Dalmatians.  Important early mentors were Edith and Nelson Gladstone, Summerhill Dalmatians and Sue Geesler, Campio Kennels. We are greatly indebted to these folks for sharing their knowledge, experience and expertise as well as providing unfailing support in all our early endeavors. 

The Dalmatian ring afforded us much pleasure and success. As our breeding program evolved, we produced national specialty, Top Ten, group and regional specialty winners.  Most gratifying of late has been watching and sharing the many successes of friends and fellow breeders with Snow Hill bred or sired Dalmatians. Although not currently breeding Dals at Snow Hill, we expect to always have a special ‘spot’ or two around.

Today we are actively exploring the wonderful world of whippets. The niche we strive to occupy is that of producing the true dual purpose whippet – beautiful to behold, sound of mind and body, and possessing the soul of a true coursing hound. You be the judge as you peruse our pages. We welcome your questions and comments.  Hopefully we will meet at a show or lure trial in the near future!
