INTRODUCTION TO THE IRISH WOLFHOUND CLUB
All Irish Wolfhound enthusiasts are welcome to join the Irish Wolfhound Club.
Due to the increase in numbers of Irish Wolfhounds members are urged to consider very carefully before breeding a litter or allowing their dogs to be used at stud, and to restrict the number of litters produced by their bitches.
Members are also urged to ensure that all Irish Wolfhounds sold, or changing hands solely as companions, have their Kennel Club Registration Certificates endorsed "Progeny not for Registration".
It is the duty of every Member and Associate Member to carry out this request.
Since 1975 anyone wishing to join the Club has been admitted as an Associate Member for the first three years. After this period they can then apply to the Committee, under Rule 3, to become a Full Member. People living abroad are able to join as Overseas Members. Associate and Overseas Members have the same rights as Full Members except that they are not eligible to vote, or hold office in the Club.

Each year the Club holds three shows in the Midlands area, easily accessible to all. There is also a rally and fun day arranged as a summer social event with friendly competitions for the hounds and plenty of opportunity to chat to friends old and new.
To try to improve the social side of the Club, local area secretaries have been appointed to eight parts of the country to ensure members are kept informed of local activities that they may wish to take part in or assist in organising.
The Club offers a large number of silver cups and trophies that members compete for at the Club championship, limited and open shows. In addition, the Club offers many trophies at general championship shows held all over the country. They are held for one year and are not just for the top winners.
Details of future Club events are available here.
