Trophies

The Irish Wolfhound Club offers trophies at all of its club shows and also at some general championship shows. Trophies are only offered to club members and may not be taken out of mainland UK. Club show trophies are presented on the day of the show. General champ show trophies are presented annually at the AGM.

Exhibitors should note that by taking any club trophy home they agree to be responsible for the safe keeping and safe return of that trophy. Any loss or damage that occurs whilst the trophy is in the care of the exhibitor is the sole responsibility of the exhibitor, who agrees to indemnify the Irish Wolfhound Club against any such loss or damage.     
Trophies should be returned to the trophy steward in person, or very carefully packed and sent by insured and recorded delivery.
