Tirliffin Donahue of Marumac
 
   Donahue was born 20.02.00, has sired five litters with me plus one before leaving Marumac. Sadly ( sept 08) his latest visit with Dr Brownlie has revealed a problem she has never found in wolfhounds before, he is going for a chest x ray and when i have the complete diagnosis it will be posted. in the meantime he is still well and happy. 
 
   Donahue is a completely charming wolfhound who can go anywhere and be trusted with anybody or anything. He won two CCs in his youth and is still a wonderful active mover.

Am Ch Carrickaneena Slieve Gullion

 

Co owned with the Flanagans, "Redemption" is the traditional huge red brindle bombproof male of his family, who very quickly learned to be the perfect housepet. He is so well trained as a showdog, a hound who looks you straight in the eye, a rampageous stud dog yet very obedient off the lead and responsive to commands. Latest ( no abnormalities)heart test Sept 07.I've also had him scored for HD: 3:7 against score 0-84:0-84 with 0 perfect and 84 severely affected. 

 

Rainster Ruby

 

Ruby is now our youngest wolfhound, born June 08 and selected from a kennel known for its longelivity and kind characters. This was a very level litter and i hope some of them will reach the showring later. Ruby seems to be planning a career in coursing ( fauves) and is a very talkative happy wolfhound puppy.

 

 

Heart testing

 

we continue to get all the hounds checked at least annually by Dr Brownlie or ( now) the regional heart testing vets who use the same tests and forms - if you need to know more about your nearest " test centre" or costs do speak to Rebecca Peek or any member of the IW Health Committee.

 Star - Collingbourne Woods January 08 demonstrating the " straight column of bones" at the trot with good width right through ( daylight between the hocks and diagonal feet off the ground shows good foot timing, or so i was taught!). Good camera angle helps of course....
