In 1988 I had just graduated college and began working as a receptionist in a veterinary clinic.  One of our clients was a huge male Irish Wolfhound named “Dutch”.  Dutch’s owner traveled with work and he boarded with us on several occasions and no one could stand to leave him in the runs in the back.  He ended up laying sprawled out on his side in my reception area.  Of course, for anyone that has spent any time with one of our IWs they know it was love at first sight.  From that point on I knew someday, somehow I would own one of the gentle giants. 

Many years later after raising collies, showing them, and being involved with collie rescue and then raising dachshunds, I finally had my dream fulfilled of owning an Irish Wolfhound.  Mikayla came from a wonderful breeder in Tennessee, Hounds of Aquarius.  She had many of the same thoughts I did on doing the more natural approach with her dogs and the 30 plus years of experience to back it up.  We got Mikayla in January of 2002 and it has been a love affair ever since.

We are raising wolfhounds for health and longevity. 
Our babies are born in the middle of things in our home and handled by all members of our family. 
These babies will grow up well socialized with children, dogs and cats.  If you think you can give one of our babies a loving, safely fenced in home where they can become your special companion, please contact us!

"I will give thee a dog which I got in Ireland. He is huge of limb, and a follower equal to an able man. Moreover, he hath a man's wit and will bark at thine enemies but never at thy friends. And he will see by each man's face whether he be ill or well disposed to thee. And he will lay down his life for thee."
