About the Irish Wolfhound Club of America
The Irish Wolfhound Club of America, Inc. (IWCA) IS the American Kennel Club (AKC) Parent Club for the Irish Wolfhound and is responsible for determining the Official Breed Standard, The Standard of Excellence.
The Irish Wolfhound Club of America was founded in 1926 and the first meeting of the club was held at the Westminster Kennel Club show in New York City in 1927. In 1953 the first club stand-alone specialty was held at Mr. Amory L. Haskell’s Woodland Farm in Red Bank, New Jersey. Prior to that the club held a supported entry at the Westminster Kennel Club, held at Madison Square Garden, and one other all breed show, usually an outdoor show.
The first official club publication (other than the By-Laws which were adopted on June 2, 1926) was the 1927-28 Club Book, four in total were published. A Bulletin was then put out on a regular basis. The Harp and Hound, first published in 1949, succeeded the Bulletin as the official club magazine.
