Description:

From April 6th 2016 all dogs must be microchipped, according toU.K. Law. For full details on this procedure and information on why it isconsidered necessary, see this vetsure.com article -http://www.vetsure.com/pet-information/latest-pet-news/new-dog-microchipping-laws-need-know/Watch OutFor any signs in your dog that may indicate Alabama Rot (otherwise known asCRGV or Cutaneous and Renal Glomerular Vasculopathy). The initial symptoms areskin lesions on the feet, legs, chest and abdomen (and sometimes on themuzzle), which appear as a distinct swelling, a patch of red skin, or open andulcer-like. This can rapidly lead to kidney failure. When it first occurred inAlabama it was in Greyhounds but it now seems that breed, age, size, etc. donot count, as it can occur in any dog, and many dogs have died from it. Quite anumber of cases have now occurred in the U.K. For more details seehttp://www.vets4pets.com/thevetreport/#32Xylitol is being used as a sweetener in so many productsnowadays and it has been found to have lots of health benefits for humans.However, it is extremely dangerous for dogs, so do make sure that your dog/scannot get hold of [and are never given] any product containing Xylitol. Evenjust a tiny amount of something like chewing gum containing it can causeproblems. Symptoms include vomiting, lethargy,loss of coordination, collapse, and seizures. Larger amounts can lead to liverfailure and failure of other organs, anddeath.I am in the process of making this site as comprehensive as possible; coveringthe attributes and characteristics of the Irish wolfhound; its care, includingnutrition, exercise, and training; its health and the major disorders to befound in the breed, and how best to deal with them particularly with regard toalternative therapies, which are my special interest.If you want to search the site for something specific, this can be done throughGoogle. Go to www.google.com andclick on Advanced Search, then enter your search criteria in therelevant boxes and put irishwolfhounds.org in the Domain box,then click Google Search.The most recent additon to the site is on theSanctuary Kennels of Margaret Harrison and May Atfield, with a somewhatearlier one on the Ballykelly Kennels ofSheelagh Seale, and a page on EarlyRegistrations made with the English Kennel Club from 1880 to 1900, andone on the Coolafin kennels plus an articleby Phyllis Gardner entitled The TrueSuccessor. An earlier update was made to the page on theLondon Irish Rifles, plus a page on theCoval Kennels of the Strohmenger family.At present I am working on the history of the breed in as much detail aspossible, covering the legends and myths of the far distant past but payingmuch more attention to the more recent past, from the time of Captain Grahamand the resuscitation of the breed to the late 1970s, and including somedetails of the care, kennelling, and feeding of those early hounds, and how theIrish wolfhound was described in early publications, including books andperiodicals from the late 19th to early 20th centuries. There is a long list ofpublications included in this section, beginning with one from 1811, and someof which are extremely rare.There is a detailed index of what is available in this area on the historypage, and also on the Site Guide, both of which can be located from the columnto the left.For quite a few years we had rescue hounds, but at present I do not have anIrish wolfhound. My companion now is a rescued German Shepherd, Sheba.There are links to many sites of interestgiven on each page and, in some cases, under each subject. There is also a pageof links to other Irish wolfhound and Sighthound sites.A full list of the subjects contained on this site can be found on theSite Guide.
