About Us
Kim and Ross adopted their first Newfoundland in the mid
nineties.
They began their breeding program under the prefix
Worcester Newfoundland's (Kim's maiden name), unsure of
a "heart-filled" kennel name to call themselves. In 2001
they decided on and adopted the Whisper Hill name.
They are active members of the Cheshire Kennel Club,
Newfoundland Club of America, Newfoundland Club of New
England and Seacoast Newfie Fun Days. Kim is a past officer
and news letter editor for the Cheshire Kennel Club.
Both Kim and Ross are past directors for Seacoast Newfie
Fun Days and currently serve on the committee.
Ross is a draft cart training instructor and donates much of
his time instructing at carting clinics for various dog clubs
throughout New England. In addition he is a skilled wood
craftsman who builds custom draft carts that he has sold
world wide. For more information on carting and draft carts
you can e-mail him. whnewfs@ne.rr.com
Kim enjoys grooming the Newfs and will give one on one
personal instruction or group instruction classes to select
Newf owners. When both Kim and Ross aren't giving
classes, building draft carts or whelping a litter of pups,
they can be found in the confirmation ring showing their
Newfs at numerous dog shows throughout New England.
Whisper Hill's Newfoundland kennel is located in a rustic,
rural community in southwestern New Hampshire. There
are 4 meticulously restored covered bridges within a 5 mile
radias of their home, as well as several historical sites
including a few very old cemetaries (at which parts of the
movie "Jamanji" were filmed), and a "reportedly" haunted
old colonial home that was renovated to a Bed and Breakfast
Inn.
The Whisper Hill property was once a part of a family
operated dairy farm that kept the township supplied with
daily deliveries of fresh milk .
Both Kim and Ross operate their kennel based on this motto
that was shared with them by a prominent dog breeder
many years ago.
" Truly, a kennel's success isn't solely based on the dogs
that you have, but most importantly, on the friends and
comrades that you have made along the way."
