Dear Irish Wolfhound friends,

I am pleased to announce that the long awaited "InterNational Irish Wolfhound Book" is published.

With the support of twenty Irish Wolfhound kennels and clubs from Belgium, Denmark, Germany, France, England, Ireland, Italy, Canada, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Russia and the USA, we have been able to create an international publication that presents the Irish Wolfhound in unprecedented fashion.
From early depictions to the history and revival of the breed, the standard and its interpretation from the breeder's point of view, a photo gallery of hounds from around 1900 who had essential impact on the breed, to the individual presentation (with characterization and pedigree) of successful Irish Wolfhounds of today, a work of "scientific standard" has emerged. Contributors from all over the world reveal their expert knowledge of the "gentle giants". Illustrated with fascinating stories about the IW, its owners, and with portraits of prestigious kennels, this book will make Irish Wolfhound lovers' hearts leap.
Fully coloured with 364 pictures, bilingual in German and English, printed on high-gloss art print paper, thread stitching, linen cloth binding, with head band and gold imprinting, this book will be the centre of your "Irish Wolfhound collection" Ð experience the breed from its beginnings until today in appropriate style and fashion!

Irish Wolfhound - hier et aujourd’hui, Gérard Alixanian, 191 pages, illustrations en NB et couleur, en français.
Commande : auprès de l’auteur : alixanian@aol.com

L’événement est suffisamment rare dans le monde cynophile pour être souligné : nous saluons l’arrivée d’un nouveau livre en français sur l’Irish Wolfhound. L’auteur a voulu donner une synthèse des conseils prodigués par de grands éleveurs de renom, pour la plupart anglo-saxons, en y apportant sa propre expérience de la race et de son élevage.
Le style est vivant et très agréable à lire, loin des collections « multi races » un peu rébarbatives, rédigées par des journalistes ne connaissant qu’approximativement la race dont ils parlent.
La présentation est également originale et rend l’ensemble très plaisant, même si vous avez l’impression de déjà tout connaître sur le Lévrier Irlandais.
Ce livre sera, à n’en pas douter, très utile aux futurs ou récents propriétaires, soucieux d’élever au mieux leur chiot mais également aux habitués qui désirent approfondir leur connaissance ou se lancer dans l’élevage.

Irsk Ulvehund i Norge – The Irish Wolfhound in Norway
The IUKN (IWH Club Norway) has published a really beautifully made book on our breed in Norway.
Tracing back the clubs history from 1977 to 2001, it shows the achievements of the club, organisation and healthwise, etc. There are lots of very interesting data, pictures of the club show winners and the champions, as well as a big section with the photos and pedigrees of nearly all Norvegian bred Wolfhounds – likewise Betty Murphy’s Photo-Pedigree Book on English/Irish bred hounds. A CD containing the pedigrees is included with the book. (Price: approx. 70$ + p and p).
To order the book, please contact: Anne Mette Mikkelsen / Mons Slettens veg 21 / N-5265 Ytre Arna / Norway, Email: ballygran@tiscali.no
