The Irish Wolfhound Database
Whether you are buying a puppy, or you are a breeder registered through Dogs Australia, the global Irish Wolfhound Database is your best friend. Together with reputable breeders all over the world, breeders in Australia enter information about their Irish Wolfhounds into this database.​​​​​​​
Packed with Information
Because giant breeds can have a shorter life span, it's important you research the health of a potential puppy. One way is to ask the names of your pup's parents and enter their names in the database. It should show you the lifespan of dogs in your pup's pedigree and the best of breeders also enter causes of death. For those who breed, the database offers a test mating tool so you can check the generational implications of mating particular dogs.
Here is a quote from the dedicated volunteers who run the data base:
IWDB is nothing more and nothing less than collecting as much information as possible about our breed and our dogs. Everybody is encouraged to share data with the database and the world. Over the last few years we have unfortunately seen significant countries being less transparent about the breeding in their country. This makes it even harder to reach our goal of having information on every Irish Wolfhound that ever lived. We encourage you all to share information about puppies born and dogs that have passed away.
