About Patricia and Panache Whippets

Patricia Spinazzola
Breeder/Owner/Hunt Master

My life with whippets began in 2001.  After losing our 14 year old mixed rescue to a brain tumor, we decided to try the purebred route.  I researched many breeds, and after whittling the list down to three, visited the breeders and met with the dogs.  It became quickly apparent that whippets were the breed for our active family.  Watching them perform in straight racing really sealed the deal!!

I am currently a member of:


American Whippet Club (AWC)
Mid-Atlantic Whippet Racing Association (MAWRA)
C.H.A.M.P. Lure Coursing Club  

I was the MAWRA Treasurer for two years.  I was the local chair for the AWC National Specialty in 2014, and the local chair again in 2018. I am now the Regional Director for ASFA Region 8.

I pull Hunt Master duties at our lure coursing. I have also been Field Trial Chair for AKC Lure Coursing.

I also own
Follow Your Lead . I have been in the business since 2007 and make dog coats, collars, belly bands, racing/coursing jackets, and much more.


Panache Whippets

I started my breeding program in 2015. After years of living and competing with whippets, I felt that I finally had enough knowledge and had ‘paid my dues.’  Thus, I took the dive into breeding and am happy that I did.  Seeing my dogs find loving homes has been a joy.  This part of my journey has just begun, and I look forward to many more years of providing happy, healthy whippets to worthy homes!
