Who are We?
For longer than I can remember, I have had a love affair with the Irish Wolfhound. I don't even think I met one until I was around 12 years of age, but long before then, I knew what lay in my future. Kevin and I got our first hound in February, 2002 - Karontara Boba Fett. She was the beginning of my dream come to life. We have worked our way up to five hounds over the years, and sadly, Boba is no longer with us. We currently share our lives with Jadzia, Artemis, Rogue, Brigid, Cernunnos, and our two cats, Leia and Pippin. Our hounds are our cherished companions, first and foremost. I show them at IW Specialty Shows in Canada and the US, as well as attending the occasional all breed show or Hound Group specialty. We are also active with the hounds in lure coursing, both with the CSFA and ASFA. Along with a love for these beautiful hounds, Kevin found a love of photography. Some of his best shots are of our hounds on the coursing field, or playing in the yard! His passion and talent are apparent in his photos (as you can see throughout our site).

It is our aim to breed sound hounds, both in form and function, on a small scale. We only breed when we are ready ourselves for a new addition, and we feel that we have someone special to go forward with. We strive for vitality and athleticism, and much of our focus is on breeding a hound that could indeed course and take down a wolf. Our hounds live in the house with us always - usually on our many couches! We believe strongly in natural rearing and feed all of our animals a species appropriate raw food diet. |
