Well, I got exactly what I asked the universe for for my birthday.
Arya is pregnant with what appears to be a nice size litter. Time will tell. Very excited about the potential for these puppies since her first litter exceeded ALL expectations by a mile.

A WARNING!!!
If you see a post or a comment about a group offering puppies for sale, please let your admins know! This page or any other page.
More importantly, this is a scam in 99.9% of the posts. They will ask for a deposit for a puppy that never existed, often using photos they have stolen from other posts.
Never send money to someone you don't have an established relationship with as you should with a reputable breeder. Ask if you are not sure about someone or their process.
These scammers have some pretty common red flags and many are similar to puppy miller red flags.
-Immiediately wanting to secure a deposit for “the puppy of your dreams. “
-”Hurry now before they are all gone!” Never an issue for reputable breeders.
- No health testing.
”My dogs go to the vet all the time. “ and “ I don't have that in my lines. “ are not valid reasons to not health test.
- They are not members of IWCA, our parent club. If they are bad mouthing the parent club and regional clubs, you may want to ask yourself why.
-If the scammers are smart enough to have registered names, look them up on the Irish Wolfhound database. It will give you so much information and additional questions you can ask. If it is a puppy miller, you will see a girl that has been bred multiple times, often from a very young age and often to the same male.

- Puppies allowed to go home at 8 weeks or younger. Too young for most puppies.
- No liver shunt testing, which often goes along with puppies going home at 8 weeks.
-Finding a breeder on AKC marketplace is not a guarantee of quality. Anyone can advertise there, so do your due diligence.
The right puppy will come along if you are patient and do your research. Don’t get your heart and wallet broken by falling for people who just want to make a quick buck off of you.

Next opportunity to work on our scent work HD title doesn’t happen until mid-October. Some may say, “Oh, he’s old! Why are you making him do all that??” First, no one makes a Sighthound do anything. Second, he enjoys it and third, the mental stimulation of training is very good for senior dogs.

The Importance of Mental Stimulation through Training for Senior Dogs
As dogs age, it is crucial to provide them with appropriate mental and physical stimulation to maintain their overall well-being. While physical exercise is often emphasized, the value of mental stimulation through training should not be overlooked, especially for senior dogs. This essay discusses the benefits of mental stimulation in training for senior dogs and highlights how it contributes to their cognitive health, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life.
1. Cognitive Health Maintenance:
Training exercises that challenge senior dogs mentally can help maintain their cognitive functions. Just like humans, dogs experience cognitive decline as they age. Engaging in training activities stimulates their brains, promoting mental agility and reducing the risk of cognitive disorders such as dementia. Through training, senior dogs can retain and enhance their learning abilities, memory, problem-solving skills, and decision-making capabilities.
2. Emotional Well-being:
Senior dogs often face various emotional challenges, such as anxiety, depression, and loneliness, which can negatively impact their overall well-being.
