After careful consideration, we decided to postpone our litter plans for late autumn/winter of this year and move them to spring/summer 2026.

It is crucial for us to provide the best possible care and socialisation for our puppies; therefore, we feel the spring/summer litter will be more suitable.

We understand that this announcement may be disappointing to all the families on our waiting list. However, it is in the best interest of our dogs and for us to provide you with a fabulous lifetime companion in the near future.
All families currently on our waiting list were contacted.

We can accept a limited amount of names on our puppy waiting list for spring/summer litter 2026.

We are delighted to confirm that Joy ∙ Shannavarius Absolut Diva Americana had recently done heart testing, all testing clear - no murmur, no evidence of cardiac disease, echocardiogram clear, measurements within normal range!

𝙍𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧: All our reports, health results, and certificates are available to view on request to anyone interested in our dogs and to all our potential puppy owners.
We are very transparent about our dogs’ health, and all screenings are updated on the pedigree database - The Whippet Archive.

It’s important to highlight that no “heart testing” is equal, and unfortunately, echocardiogram and Doppler are still not routinely performed when screening Whippets for heart-related issues.
Some breeders, falsely (in my opinion as a breeder and a veterinary nurse), state that their dogs were “heart tested”. However, the only “testing” performed was an auscultation with a stethoscope.
Ascultation of the heart should not be normalised and standardised in heart testing for Whippets.
All our dogs are auscultated several times a year. However, they are fully heart tested, including an echocardiogram with Doppler by a certified specialist.

Sunday is for food enrichment ✨🐾

We were delighted to collect our order from @floandcotreats from our local market and went straight into some food enrichment prep for the week.

Whippets’ favourites are sardines 🐟and beef lung bites 🐮🫁 and we went for something new as well - beef trachea. We sliced the long trachea into smaller pieces (thanks to the fiancé! 🙃) and stuffed them with a selection of high quality wet food that came in our @fetchyourpetneeds order, adding dehydrated sardines and lung bites. 👌🏻

An hour in the freezer and viola! A perfect spring snack in the sun. 🌞

Featuring as always - Wiggles, Joy & Fay.

Better late than never!

We had an incredible time at Crufts
We've seen some lovely dogs and met some great friends, new and old. It was only my second time showing at Crufts, the first one being 5 years ago! The famous green carpet never disappoints and always delivers fantastic emotions. 🐾💚

𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐮𝐬 𝐕𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞 𝐕𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐈𝐑𝐉𝐂𝐇, although unplaced in a competitive yearling class under judge Mr Arne Foss (NOR), showed like a dream, giving her absolute best as always.

The picture shows all I love about this little dog—her size, feminine outline, shape, and flowing lines. She also has the funniest and sweetest temperament to go with.

Wiggles is out of Shannavarius Absolut Diva Americana, sired by C.I.B., MK JCH, PL CH, LT CH, BA CH, BA F CH, BA GR CH Southpoint Kilian Foxpolis.

It was a fun day out, a beautiful morning and felt like Spring was just around the corner! ✨🎾🌳

Whippets had “A BALL” (literally!) and came back filthy mucky, but happy!

Joy was as always “fetch-mad”, go go go!
Wiggles and Kazik were “killin’” each other (but not really) over the toys, sprinting from one side of the field to another.
And Fay was in great form enjoying running after her own ball and running away never wanting to give it back as always. She loved the sun and green, green grass. 🌱 🔅

Last throw was a sh it throw. 🤷‍♀️

Great facilities at @pawsomewalksdogpark!

We did something new and something fun with Joy today by attending Mantrailing Introduction & L1 organised by @scentdogsireland.

It was a super introductory session to the world of scent, nosework and mantrailing. We met some lovely people and their super cool dogs and can’t wait to continue on this new hobby.

Joy absolutely loved it and I’m very happy how she went today, making a good progress from her first run to the last.

As some of you may already know, our sweet boy was very ill and hospitalised about two weeks ago, in a crisis.

Sometimes, it doesn't matter how much testing you do, how much research you do and how selective you are. No matter how hard you try, there are some diseases and conditions you cannot test for or predict will affect your dog.

Through his terrible bloodwork and minimal improvement during his hospitalisation, after doing some more extensive testing, he was diagnosed with Addison’s disease at 18 months old.

Addison disease, also called hypoadrenocorticism, is caused by a deficiency of adrenal gland hormones. The cause is usually unknown, but an autoimmune condition in which the body destroys some of its own tissue is likely. Secretion of aldosterone, the main mineralocorticoid hormone, is reduced, which affects the levels of potassium, sodium, and chloride in the blood. Potassium gradually builds up in the blood and, in severe cases, may cause the heart to slow down or beat irregularly. Some dogs have such a slow heart rate (50 beats per minute or lower) that they can become weak or go into shock. Decreased production of glucocorticoids (such as cortisol) results in moderately low blood sugar.
Signs of Addison disease include repeated episodes of vomiting and diarrhoea, loss of appetite, dehydration, and a gradual loss of body condition. Weight loss is often severe. Although signs can be hard to identify while Addison disease is developing, severe consequences, such as shock and evidence of kidney failure, can develop suddenly.
Marcus will be now on life-long medication, including monthly injections.

As a breeder, it somehow feels like a failure as the aim is, and always should be, to breed healthy and happy dogs. I had great hopes for him, but as a responsible breeder, I’ve decided to remove him from our breeding program and plans.

I’m happy that once he recovers and we have good control of his condition, he will continue to live a long and happy life.
He had his Day 10 check-up today, and things are slowly improving, with his health going in the right direction.

Onwards and upwards. 💙

✨ MEET MARCUS / KAZIK ✨

𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘢𝘷𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘶𝘴 𝘝𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘏𝘪𝘭𝘭'𝘴 𝘔𝘢𝘯𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘢𝘯

Our first ever whippet boy and what a character he is!
Crazy, jumps like mad including dinner table and could lick you to death.
He loves his food (must be after his mum Joy!) and is treat-obsessed.

He lives his everyday life spoilt by my parents and siblings just around the corner from us.
On weekends, he enjoys torturing his sister Wiggles.

Marcus is a dog of many names… “Kazik” to close friends and family, which is more suited to his funny character.
He also reacts to “Globby”, “Globe”, “Bobby” and “Bobinek”.

✨ MEET JOY! ✨

𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘢𝘷𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘶𝘴 𝘈𝘣𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵 𝘋𝘪𝘷𝘢 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘢

Just as her name suggests, she's a very joyful girl to live with. She has a sweet and very affectionate temperament and loves attention and snuggles. She loves to play in the fields or on the beach with her favourite toys - she's truly fetch-mad!

Joy is a very easygoing whippet and was the firstborn here at Shannavarius. She was the only puppy in the litter and we simply could not part ways with her.

Joy enjoys her life at home, loves swimming and water in general, hacking and alongside her show life, we hope to do some mantrailing with her in the coming months.

🧬 Joy has a complete DNA testing performed: www.wisdompanel.com/app/s/wpxzbkm

Pedigree and generations of ancestors: https://whippet.breedarchive.com/animal/view/shannavarius-absolut-diva-americana-6d3a579f-086c-43a9-a787-768b8ba24ad5

Over 3000 km in the car, 4 countries and multiple stop-offs with memories made forever.

A dream to come true and an event not to be missed by any sighthound lover! An amazing adventure for our small Irish team in the best company.💚🇮🇪

Although a mixed bag of results, seeing so many lovely whippets and catching up with some longtime missed friends and whippet enthusiasts was great.
Most importantly, I couldn’t be more proud of my little pocket rocket Wiggles being an absolute legend on this trip from start to finish. She showed like a dream both days strutting her stuff in a scorching heat which we - „Irish gals” - are (definitely!) not used to. 😂🙃

I couldn’t resist of sharing some ringside photos taken of us during the show.

We will definitely be back!

✨HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our DOUBLE TROUBLE!✨

Marcus & Wiggles alongside their siblings celebrate their first birthday! 🎈

Totally full of mischief and trouble, bringing a lot of joy and fun to our house on daily basis. 💜

In the show ring, „bagging in” few BBPISs on Championship and Open level, collecting Crufts Qualification for next year, and just one step away from their Irish Junior Champion titles.

Be bold, puppies!

Big birthday wishes to their sisters Pandora, Fiadh and Annabell, and brother Jack!

She’s full of talents including opening the baby gates, doors, and bins. Best fly-hunter and dedicated cat chaser.

✨ MEET FAY ✨

𝘕𝘶𝘨𝘢𝘣𝘦 𝘉𝘢𝘳𝘣𝘪𝘦 𝘑𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘻

Fay is my dream to come true, and she has been a very special girl from the day I flew over to meet her in Spain.
Fay is my first whippet, my first show dog and, most of all, an amazing life companion.

Fay's a very gentle, sweet, loving, and outgoing girl who likes to do things her way. Her favourite pastime is rolling in smelly stuff, sofa napping (all day, every day) and bin exploration.
On the walks, she mainly listens to no one. Sometimes will come back when my warning tone of voice takes over.
Other than that, she’s not that bothered…

In the show ring, she has proven herself numerous times in highly competitive line-ups all over Europe. She has several titles to her name, including the Irish Junior Champion title, Poland Junior Winner title and double Split Winner title from 2017 and 2019.
Through her veteran career, she gained the Celtic Veteran Winner title in 2023 and 2024, became the Irish Veteran Champion, and most recently - the International Veteran Champion.

She is an International Champion, Croatian Champion and an Irish Champion.

Her showing days are now coming to an end as she’s turning 9 years of age and has done it all.
She can enjoy her sweet retirement on the sofa chair, being the best girl as always.

Pedigree with generations of ancestors:

✨ MEET WIGGLES ✨

𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘢𝘷𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘶𝘴 𝘝𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦 𝘝𝘢𝘯𝘢

Wiggles is funny, and full of character girl. Like any whippet puppy, she’s a fireball of energy that loves to get into mischief from time to time, with her favourite pastime tormenting her mum Joy, granny Fay, and brother Marcus on most weekends.

She is the most wiggly-worm ever, hence her cheerful name!
Other activities she enjoys include trips to the beach, our favourite dog park, solving dog puzzles and following my side all the time.

Wiggles loves working for treats and is a super food-driven dog. But equally loves her toys and tug games are definitely at the top of the list, especially with her litter brother Marcus.

We attend dog shows on some weekends.

It was a week of pawsome enrichment and dog puzzles! 🧩 🐾

Canine enrichment reduces stress, prevents boredom, provides mental stimulation and boosts cognitive performance.

We use many types of dog puzzles and enrichment with our dogs, involving puppies, adults and seniors.
As you can see, they are obsessed!

Throwback to our Shannavarius Puppy Harvest 2023! 🐾

These puppies were keen explorers and gardeners, with ultimate love towards our vegetable patch and flower boxes. 🪴

I’d love to say “no flower/plant or veg were harmed in the making of this video”, but this would be a lie! 🤭

The golden girl recovering from her root canal review.

Happy to say all is good, and she can continue to chew the endless amount of her favourite dental sticks and treats! 🤍✨

What a perfect way to start the day - family, whippets, empty beach and an autumn sun.

The dogs had a blast!

From 6 troublemakers to 2!

Marcus & Wiggles are happy to introduce themselves as they join our small family pack. 🐾🥹

Marcus lives with my parents and is co-owned with my sister. You can follow his adventures (and my sister’s sometimes good, sometimes bad sense of humour) at @kazik.marcus.buczynski.

Wiggles will be making daily highlights here and on our Facebook.

Marcus • Shannavarius Vesper Hill’s Manhattan
Wiggles • Shannavarius Villanelle Vana

This isn't “goodbye” but “see you soon”. 🤎

What a fabulous evening for the final run on the beach with the siblings before her big trip tomorrow, as she sets for Germany to her forever home.
It isn't easy to part with this one in a million girl, but nonetheless, we are super excited to see what the future holds for “our Quennie” and her loving family.

Good luck puppy! We love you much! 🐾

Last few days together…

These two girls will begin their big journeys to new homes next week, both being awaited by their loving and excited owners.
We are equally excited and happy to see what the future holds for the two troublemakers. 🐾 💕

Not a happy camper… 🥺🤭

It’s an all-wet weather here in Ireland. Showers all around, literally.
