FAQ

Pam Murphy

Involvement in the breed:
I met my first Irish Wolfhounds in 1960 when I was ten years old. My family couldn't afford one, but the owner of these three beauties was generous with me and I got to spend many hours with them. From then on I read every book I could find on the breed and built up my library. In 1991 I got my first Irish Wolfhound puppy and haven't looked back yet! They are definitely the breed that suits me like no other.

I have worked my dogs in obedience, agility, lure coursing, conformation and have loved all of these activities in different ways.
