Kerryarc Bitches

We feel that our success lies in the quality of our females. Our selection process for incorporating any bitches into our program is a rigorous one. They must pass all of our measuring sticks, including health, temperment and pedigree, while adhering to the specifics of the Irish Wolfhound standard without compromise.
