FAQ

Donita Osborne - Wolfhaven Registered

Involvement in the breed:
My love affair with Irish Wolfhounds started as a child and my first IW came to me in 1988, since then I have bred seven litters. My focus being to bring together hounds that offer an improvement to the breed and hopefully offer something to the future. Working closely with other breeders has always been a priority and offers a constant upward learning curve.

I keep relatively few hounds and follow my litters as closely as possible. I participate in conformation shows and have had the pleasure to produce many Champions in both Canada and the United States.
