IWANE is a breed club dedicated to the welfare of the Irish Wolfhound. IWANE subscribes to the purpose and intent of the Code of Ethical Conduct and Standard of Behavior for Breeders of our breed's parent club, the Irish Wolfhound Club of America, Inc.

We hold four meetings a year - a spring meeting, a meeting at the IWANE match, a meeting at the IWANE Specialty, and a fall meeting.

Our members include Irish Wolfhound breeders as well as families and single owners with one hound. Some members show their hounds in conformation or obedience (or both), others participate in tracking, lure coursing, pet therapy, or just enjoy their hounds' company. We also have a well-organized Rescue Program.

If you would like to join IWANE please download and print the associate member form, fill out and mail to the secretary (address on form). Please be sure to complete all items; incomplete applications will be returned. Your application will be reviewed at the next Board meeting. The membership year runs January 1st through December 31st.

*** Members are expected to attend meetings and participate in the club. ***

Sponsors are required for membership; if you do not know any club members, check the calendar of events page and plan on attending and getting acquainted. You will be welcome!
