Bohem is one of the world’s best known and most successful Whippet kennels. It was established over 40 years ago and is responsible for a long line of world-class winners. It has always been an extremely small operation. Visitors often expect a range of brood bitches and well-filled puppy runs, but the "kennel" consists of only a few dogs (including several grey-faced veterans), possibly a puppy or two, and sometimes a visitor staying for a few shows.

Throughout the years, Bohem has remained committed to the same ideal: a happy, healthy Whippet whose classic beauty derives from the long, curvy lines, the strong, well angulated quarters and the smooth, low, powerful movement. Glamorous colors, attractive heads and showmanship are a bonus.

Bohem has bred an average of barely one litter per year and relies on a high percentage of memorable winners for its success. Showing and breeding is strictly a hobby and always has to take a back seat to other dog activities: judging, club work, research, writing and publishing. Because of limited opportunities to campaign the Bohem dogs, quality youngsters are sometimes available to exhibitors who are able to do them justice. Even when there are no puppies available at Bohem, every effort will be made to help a dedicated fancier find a suitable puppy.

Although not participating in organized racing or coursing in recent years, many Bohem bred Whippets in other ownerships have earned field titles of various kinds.
