| Rose, Best of Opposite Sex, Irish Wolfhound Assn. of the West Coast, July 2012 |
Rose and her mother, Verity, are the only mother-daughter Irish Wolfhound Grand Champions. We're thrilled!
Both grand champions were honorees invited to this year's Eukanuba-AKC National Dog Show in Florida. Rose also was invited to Eukanuba because she was ranked among the top 20 wolfhounds.
Florida is far, far away from Gryffindor. Although we didn't go, our Irish Wolfhounds managed to make a cameo appearance anyway.
In the popular Meet the Breeds booth, our Ocho represented the Irish Wolfhound therapy dog in this display by the Florida Irish Wolfhound club:

Ocho earned his Therapy Dog title from AKC this year and we couldn't be prouder of his therapy work in Texas with his owners, the Cox family.
At the Meet the Breeds booth, Ocho's sister, our own Rose, represented the Irish Wolfhound in conformation:

Here is Rose in the conformation display, shown competing with handler Erin Hines at this
year's National Irish Wolfhound specialty judged by Mrs. Jacqueline
Carswell.
A wolfhound-sized Thank You to the Irish Wolfhound club members in Florida for including us!
