Kerryarc Irish Wolfhounds
Kerryarc Stud Dogs
Our dogs are available to outside bitches on a very limited basis. Before accepting any outside bitch for breeding, we consider the quality of the bitch herself, her pedigree, her owner’s ability to raise the puppies correctly and place them in appropriate homes, whether this breeding will be a benefit for the breed, and several other factors that go into making our decision. The majority of inquiries are referred to other stud dog owners.
Considering that our dogs are used so selectively, we are proud of their records as sires and proud of the quality puppies they have produced in such limited numbers.
Of our dogs old enough to have a representative number of their get of show age, here is a sampling of their siring ability…

Ch. Kerryarc Roman
(Ch. Kerryarc Krugerrand of Eagle ex. Avonlea Ruanna of Kerryarc)

(pedigree)
America's #1 Irish Wolfhound in 2008!
Roman ended 2008 the #1 Irish Wolhound with over 40 Best of Breeds, 20 groups placements, and 5 Hound group 1st. -January 2009
Although Ch. Kerryarc Roman was shown very sparingly and his campaign was carefully planned, he quickly gained the attention of some of America's top hound authorities. We were thrilled with all of the positive attention this magnificent dog had from so many people that we admire.
Roman was purposely not bred while he was being actively campaigned in 2008. He will be bred in 2009-2010.
We feel strongly that most Wolfhounds can not handle the campaign schedule of most other breeds. Because of our love and commitment to our Wolfhounds and especially to Roman, he was retired after his extremely successful show carrer in 2008. He is home enjoying his life to the fullest. -February 2009
Admired for his classic head and exemplary shoulder construction, Roman is also known as a powerful, balanced, effortless mover.

"Faro" is our Belgium import. We hunted many years to find this rare dog. We are thrilled to include him in our program. Faro's first time out he was Best of Opposite in NCIWC match. His second venture out netted him
Best in Sweepstakes at NCIWC. Faro is slow maturing, as is indicated by his breeding. When he is ready, he will be shown. In the meantime, we are thoroughly enjoying his superb sense of humor and his even, kind temperment.
Faro's get are just hitting the show ring. His oldest puppies are just over a year old. He has already sired a Specialty Winners Dog (at eight months of age), Specialty Reserve Winner's Bitch, SBIS puppy, and Best in Sweepstakes puppy. We are very excited about including this unique, consistent and predictable pedigree that is Cely's Dew Faro. -January 2009

Kerryarc Fighting Irish has been shown 5 times and has been Winners Dog 4 of those. His majors are in place with our appreciation to "the" Sighthound authority, Espen Engh, for his second major ( pictured below ). Although we have taken him just for the experience, this exemplary young dog needs just two points to acheive his title. -August 2009
"Behan" gained his Championship with another Major win at the Del Valle Dog Club of Livermore under Judge Janet Buchanan from Canada. Behan finished in six weekends out and before he was two years old. We look forwrd to watching him mature and showing him as a special.-October 2009
