Founded in 1965, the NCWFA is a club dedicated to the preservation and enjoyment of the Whippet breed. Our club puts on events open to the public throughout the year. Whippets are a versatile breed, and our dogs enjoy participating in many different activities, including conformation shows, straight-track and oval-track racing, obedience trials, lure coursing, open field coursing, agility, barn hunt, nosework, and tracking.
The NCWFA has several services of interest to the aspiring whippet owner. First of all, we encourage anyone interested in whippets to come to one of our local events and meet the breed up close and personal. If you are looking for a puppy, our Breeder Listing service can help you contact local responsible whippet breeders. NCWFA Whippet Rescue is devoted to the rehabilitation and rehoming of abandoned, neglected or surrendered whippets.
If you are interested in joining NCWFA, please visit our Membership Page for more information and a downloadable application.

Celebrating a Life: Mary Jean Odron
The NCWFA celebrates the life of our long-time show chairperson, head finish line judge, VP & all around 'hardest working lady in show business', Mary Jean Odron. MJ was an NCWFA officer for over twenty years, our Specialty Show Chair since 2003, as well as being our head finish line judge for CWA racing for many years. Mary Jean could often be seen behind a clipboard at our racing, show & fast CAT events, rain or shine, through record heat & smoke & even one incident of unseasonable hail & several small floods at Solano College.
MJ had the best sense of humor & could make the most sharp witted comment sound honey-sweet with her usual 'bless your heart' at the end of the statement. Mary Jean and Ed came to whippets after many successful years with Afghan Hounds & she embraced the breed in all its versatility, competing in every venue, from show to racing, to lure coursing, Fast CAT, obedience & Barn Hunt, with a variety of willing [and not so willing] whippet partners.
Her passing leaves a huge hole in all our hearts.
