The Society was founded as a National Organisation in 1981 by the late Mrs Florence Nagle, the doyenne of our breed, whose long involvement began before the first World War. Her lifetime concern was the protection and improvement of the breed and her dedication to those ends remains unsurpassed.

The Society is totally committed to those ends by:

Promoting the breeding and exhibiting of quality Irish Wolfhounds.
Giving help and encouragement to new owners of the breed
Acknowledging and addressing any health problems, particularly of an hereditary nature.
Holding Breed and Judging Seminars

The Society holds two shows a year, an Open show in January and a Championship show in September. Both are held at the Connexion, Coventry, which has proved to be a popular venue and centrally situated. We also hold rallies each year with the emphasis on the Irish Wolhound as a family pet. These are great fun with games, fun matches, speakers and the opportunity to exchange opinions with owners and their families.

Each year a magazine is produced, distributed to all members, containing varied articles of interest to all Irish Wolfhound owners.

The Society is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2008 and we hope our members will join us at our
events throughout the year.
