Owners: Donna Wilhoyte, Guin Borstel & Donna O'Toole

Charley is the puppy I have waited for thirty-five years for; a white headed 'bald eagle' with full eye rim pigment. The fact that she is a beautiful whippet with her mother's lovely movement is total icing on the cake. As I was not keeping a female from this litter, even if there was one who had the markings I have coveted for over a quarter of a century, I was so happy that my old friend Donna Wilhoyte was a charmed by the Eagle as I and Donna O'Toole were.

Charley lives with Donna, Todd, her uncle Zeb & honorary aunt Dee Dee in Antelope CA. She will be seen in the ring and on the field.

Here is the poem Charley-Eagle was named for. It is one of Emily Dickenson's most delightful works & is the perfect registered name for a delightful whippet!

“Hope” is the thing with feathers -

That perches in the soul -

And sings the tune without the words -

And never stops - at all -


And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -

And sore must be the storm -

That could abash the little Bird

That kept so many warm -


I’ve heard it in the chillest land -

And on the strangest Sea -

Yet - never - in Extremity,

It asked a crumb - of me. - Emily Dickinson
