Decades in the making, the world-renowned RED MILLS brand has grown into its global reputation through the dedication and passion of 5 generations of Connollys. Since the beginning of our journey at the mill on the River Barrow in South-East Ireland, the Connolly family has continued to innovate and pioneer the animal nutrition industry as a world-leading manufacturer of feeds that have garnered the trust, respect and support of our global customers.

Did you know?
Connolly's RED MILLS first began producing dog food in the mid 1980's when Bill Connolly set about creating a food that was full of natural, clean ingredients which he was able to source from local farmers in the area.

The end result was a complete food that combined quality meats and wholesome vegetables with vitamins, minerals and oils in an easily digestible kibble

But Bill wasn't just creating a dog food - he was creating a food for his own family's dogs Caesar and Pharaoh.

Years later, that love of dogs is still what motivates the Connolly family to produce quality dog feeds - from our family to yours.

It is with a heavy heart that the Patron, Officers and Committee inform you of the sudden passing of our fellow club member, Cianán Redmond, son of Tony and Ger, father of Zuva, and brother of Colm and Grainne.

The Redmond Family and their Athcarne Irish Wolfhounds have been an integral part of our club for decades.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this sad and dark time.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.

Who we are

The Irish Wolfhound Club of Ireland is the Island of Ireland Mother Breed Club and the holders of the the Breed Standard. Our aim is to encourage and promote the Irish Wolfhound, the National Dog of Ireland by adherence to our breed standard in breeding strong, healthy dogs that are fit for purpose and true to form. While at all times championing good care and responsible ownership of our Ancient and Noble Breed.We are affiliated to the Irish Kennel Club since its foundation and are founding members of the Federation of Irish Wolfhound Clubs, of which the IWIC holds the office of President.

The Irish Wolfhound Club was established in 1885 its founding members coming from the Islands of Ireland and Britain. The early 1900’s brought change in Ireland, World War 1, Irish War of Independence and the Irish Civil War changed the social fabric of Ireland and Britain. Ireland regained Independence in 1922 and all walks of life set about establishing the organisations required for the day to day running of the state.

Minutes exist of meetings that took place as early as 1904 in Ireland but it is 1908 before we see the Irish Wolfhound Club of Ireland being mentioned in these correspondence, whether some of the Irish founding members of the 1885 Irish Wolfhound Club had the foresight to see what changes were about to happen in Ireland we can only speculate.

The new Irish Wolfhound Club of Ireland had Mr J.F. Baily at its head a founding member of the 1885 club and the Capt. Graham Trophy for the best pup bred in Ireland was given to the club. In 1925 the Irish Wolfhound Club of Ireland, affiliated to the newly established Irish Kennel Club.
