for the Longhaired Whippet.
 

The Longhaired Whippet Association is the official, parent registry and world-wide breed club of Longhaired Whippets, with stud books dating back to 1958, since the very beginning of the restoration of the breed. (See article A Brief History of the Breed).

The Longhaired Whippet Association was incorporated in 1981 to protect and promote the long haired variety of the purebred Whippet.

The Longhaired Whippet Association does not recognize dogs that are referred to as any "Percentage" of Longhaired Whippet.

The LWA does not recognize, register or endorse any Whippets of a longhaired variety called by any other name than Longhaired Whippet (and as the breed name translates literally into other languages).

Only purebred Whippets exhibiting the recessive longhaired gene may be called Longhaired Whippets. Any persons breeding dogs with a mixed breed background and calling them Longhaired Whippets or registering them in alternate registries under the breed name "Longhaired Whippet" is falsely representing the breed.
