FAQ

Jeanne Patterson

Irish Wolfhounds have been the joy in my life since 1994. My hounds are my companions and have worked as therapy dogs, entertained in obedience, conformation, and enjoy racing. This short time in the breed has brought many positive challenges, opportunities to learn and grow, as well as wonderful people and hounds into our lives. I am a member of Irish Wolfhound organizations in North America, Britain and Ireland. Work in Irish Wolfhound rescue and in support of health initiatives are priorities, in the hope that individual hounds and the breed as a whole will have a happy and healthy future.
