Letter to organizations that request our Irish Wolfhounds participate in their events 

Due to the many requests we receive, there are requirements we need to make the event a successful experience for all.

  • Once we receive a request for an event, we will need the date, times, and any other information that is relevant (such as parking instructions).

  • Since we are a not-for-profit club, we would appreciate it if your organization offered a donation for attending. We like to reimburse our members for any expenses, plus it helps to keep our club successful. Thank you in advance!

  • We carry a substantial insurance policy that is required by most events.

  • Irish Wolfhounds don't do very well in the extreme heat. Adequate shade and water are necessary.

  • Wolfhounds are considered one of the largest breeds. We require a larger area to set up.
