Update – May 15, 2023
Our next member meeting is scheduled for Sunday, June 11, 2023 at our specialty show site. Details with the Zoom link will be sent to members.
We have confirmed sponsorship shows for 2023 and have listed them in the Calendar of Events tab. As additional sponsorships are approved we will update this section. Also note the Specialty 2023 tab which includes the premium list.
We will be continuing our Meet & Greet walks this year. If anyone has a suggestion for a location or would like to host a meeting of the hounds, please let me know and I’m happy to help facilitate and get the message out. The two we had in 2022 in Maine and Vermont, respectively, were a big hit with those looking to meet an Irish Wolfhound “in person”. We continue to get people looking to meet and learn more about our hounds.
We have some new items for purchase that highlight the talents of our own Sue Gilson. Some of these beauties will be available to purchase at the specialty in June. Handmade ornaments of our beloved hounds, and some gorgeous puppy teeth boxes, decoupaged with Sue’s unique artwork. Check in with us for other items as we’ve got some pretty good ideas up our sleeves!! All proceeds go to the IWANE general fund and ultimately to the well-being and education of our hounds.
