Chapter 3
Oh the Joy!
Colette Jordan Griffin ( boggiest and dog lover) Thank you Tracy for your friendship and fulfilling our dream. |
Well you must know by now we have
been looking endlessly for an Irish wolfhound puppy. But not just any puppy
will do, oh no, we had to jump in with both feet and get a show puppy. We
preferred a male as they are extremely impressive in size usually about 32 to
34 inches tall at the shoulder and extremely stunning in the ring. Brindle or a
dark Wheaton ,
were my preferred colors making the search just a little harder. It’s amazing how hard it is to find just what you’re
looking for, Wolfhounds come in a variety of colors from black to white with
many shades and variations in between, including reds, brindles and wheaten.

Tracy is very particular as to who gets her puppies, so after she did a through screening of our home life, characters, and experiences,
with animals, she said she may have just what we were looking for. We were thrilled!, our heart will filled with such joy that you can't even imagine it.
Tracy explained, as with all show prospects no guarantees can be made that it will make it to a champion, and that there are a lot of factors that goes into the mix. This goes without saying, I said: one can only work hard at it and hope for the best. Especially being a new comer to the west coast show circuit. Good bites, nice angulations and great looking heads can quickly change with the growth of any dog. I worry about my own ability's as we, although I have done very well in the obedience ring, my dogs taking several titles in Canada and the USA, but the breed ring, is a new playing field. I have shown a bit in conformation, but have never titled a champion as of yet. I am hoping my puppies and I will learn and grow together. After all every Champion had to start at the bottom and work their way to the top.

Oh and by the way, we decided to get two because like potato chips, you can't have just one.
It was pure Lady luck on our part to
find Tracy, we just happen to stumble upon a few pictures she had been sharing with
mutual friends on our Wolfhound social network. Like most other wolfhound breeders, Tracy doesn’t advertise in the
papers or magazines she usually has a waiting list, or word of mouth, so Lady
Luck, Thank you for our breeder and friend, Tracy A Maccarthy, we love you girl! J
