Completely
unexpected, our family expanded with a beautiful Irish Lady. On January 17 2004
we went for a visit to Conny and André Goossens, and returned home with
the promise that one of those pups came to live with us in the future. These
people gave us the most precious gift anyone could get, and we are deeply
grateful for the trust they have in us.

Ever since I was a
little girl, I would gaze at the Irish Wolfhounds on exhibitions and shows.
Later on, I have gotten more involved in the breed, reading up on them, talking
to breeders and owners, going on organised walks by IW societies, joining
mailing lists etc. etc. We were offered a rescue dog twice, but they came at a
bad time in our life. One while our BC Mel was in a difficult stage at his life
and one shortly after our eldest dog had died. Also an other pup was more or
less rejected by us, because we didn't want our old dog Hannes to cope with a
pup. But now we could
give this girl a good home.
On February 4th 2004 Cassie came to live with us!
New arrival.
Irish Wolfhounds are
great companions, also in body! They become very large animals and in their
first year they grow enormously fast! That is something to keep in mind. Due to
their fast growth, they need large quantities of food, and of high quality! This
will stretch your wallet a bit ;-) They take up a lot of room in your house and
need lots of exercise when they are grown. They make excellent pets, but always
keep in mind that they were originally hunting dogs (galloping hounds) and they
are very strong.
It still fits.............
The menu
of an IW:
-
The kids candy
-
fruit, everything
-
bread, even that
what's in the bin
-
crackers, the
messier the better
-
crayons (maybe they
like to paint?)
-
shoes, new ones are
the best.
-
arm chairs
-
Hygienic bandage, to
give the house that Christmas look
-
yoghurt, use your
human as a towel afterwards
-
human food, even
when it's stored on high places
-
water, take a mouth
full to take with you and spread it around
-
the guinea pigs food
-
fish bate, the
fisherman falling into the water of shear terror is to entertain you
-
spiders, but mum
will love you for that!!
An Irish Wolfhound is
always hungry, and if not......they are in for a snack..........
Eleven months old.
