I don't know the breeders of Irish Wolfhounds, but the way
to find breeders is simple. First, go to one or more AKC
santioned shows where the Wolfhound is being shown. If
possible, make it a benched show since the exhibitors are
required to have their dogs on their assigned bench during
specific hours (makes it easy to find the people that you
want to talk to). Ask them about breeders, prices, etc.
Find a breeder that raises dogs in a fashion that you the feel
comfortable with (I require that lots of time be spent with
the puppies socializing them, for example). Most breeders
will work out an installment plan, so maybe you don't have
to worry as much about price.
In addition, the following periodicals list breeders:
Dog World (Available at most pet shops)
Maclean Hunter Publishing Corp

(312) 726-2802
Pure-Bred Dogs American Kennel Gazette

(212) 696-8200
The Irish Wolfhound Quarterly
Hoflin Publishing Ltd.

The quarterly is the best source of information on breeders and
shows, naturally. Finally, there may even be a club in your
area for people owning Wolfhounds. Ask around at the shows.
