my first wolfhound
Posted Sunday, 01 May 2011 By becky posey
I live in Florida and was introduced to the wolfhound through my good friend from the UK who lives here now managing a private hunting preserve. I was raised on a dairy farm however pets were not allowed in my household. Animals were for profits only. Long story short I have had the honor of raising these 2 wolfhound pups now a year old and I have never been so in love since my own 2 sons were born. I am blessed to have known their devotion and their company. I shall never keep another breed and am eager to promote the future of the wolfhound.

Hi my name is Denis and I am an artist from Waterford. Irish Wolfhounds have long held a place in my heart as I grew up with our own wolfhound Oisin. As an artist, wolfhounds have been a continued source of inspiration for me, popping up in my artwork many times.

Hi Rita
Its not really about what country the pups come from but more about the stock they are produced from. Any breeder worth his or her salt should be able to provide you with a pedigree for any puppy you might be interested in. This will show you the pups family line on both the bitch and dogs side and if any of them have been made up to be chanpions. You can then do some research on these kennel names to make sure that you are buying a quality puppy that is free from inherited health problems. If this is your first time to own a dog then I would not advise taking on a wolfhound. You need to know what your doing when you give a home to a wolfhound. They are great family dogs but not for 1st timers.
So Rita as an Irishman I could have told you that yes Irish Pups are the best pups to buy but its the quality of the breeding parents and the care the pups get from the time their born until they are ready for their new home (betwen 8/10 weeks) that produce good healthy puppys. Kind regards Tony

I am situated in Canada and do some rescue work for abandoned animals. Very recently I and a friend went up to a pound with 2 dogs slated for euthanasia. One is a Black Shepherd and the other a L'aso Apso mix. Upon getting there the girl at the pound had a 3rd....an Irish Wolfhound. Through logistics and situation, the wolfhound has now been gotten away from the pound as a rescue. He is one of the kindest friendliest dogs I have ever met. He loves people, shows no dominance over other dogs, He does not display any traits that are mean even whilst having his muzzle clipped, or getting cleaned up. From what I have read on this breed...this is a normal trait. "Liam" as we have named him is a wonderful and friendly dog and would be a credit to anyone's life.
If I could take him on I would...but my living situation dictates that I cannot.
1st experienece with this breed.....and "Liam" has won me over. When a home is found..his people will be the ones in awe of such an animal.
