Mt Carmel Irish Wolfhounds

Breeders Perry and Teresa Kuntz (Koontz)

Thank you for visiting
Mt Carmel.

The Irish Wolfhound is of Great Size and Commanding appearance. Remarkable in combining power and swiftness
with keen sight. The largest of the galloping hounds in general type is a rough-coated greyhound - like breed. (First
three lines of the Standard)

Wolfhounds can be traced back as early as 273 BC. They were sent as highly coveted gifts to emperors, kings, nobility
and poets. They were held in such high esteem that when disputes arose over them, not only individual combats but
full scale wars often occurred. Irish wolfhounds were so highly prized for their hunting prowess, particularly in pursuit
of the wolf. Of all the animals cherished in Ireland, dogs are the most revered. Of these, only the Irish Wolfhound
appears as a symbol throughout the land. Today, these mighty dogs of ancient emperors and kings are seen in the
show rings, competing for coursing, obedience and agility titles around the world; playing in fields and with children
and walking beside the owners they so dearly love.
