FAQ

Anne and Paul Vaudin - Torteval Irish Wolfhounds

Involvement in the breed:
We have been committed and enthusiastic owners of Irish wolfhounds since 1994. We are not breeders, but are happy to offer assistance, advice and guidance to any CI residents contemplating the journey into the unknown that is wolfhound ownership. The Torteval hounds are always delighted to receive visitors, and like nothing better than to explain the finer points of wolfhound ownership in person!
