FAQ

Karen Brumpton - Rainvale Irish Wolfhounds

Involvement in the breed:

I bought my first wolfhound in 1977 - he was a wonderful pet who introduced us to thebreed. A year or so later the second wolfhound joined the family and I never looked back. During the years I bred four litters and had some nice puppies with some nice wins. I have been active with the IWCC and have served on their executive board. I enjoy going to various specialties both to show and watch and learn.
