there is no such thing as a good breeder of wolfhounds im afraid, not here anyway, russia or ukraine maybe. the breed has all but been destroyed by arseholes involved with the kennel club. as for hunting, tell your OH to get a lurcher or a deerhound maybe, as the only thing a wolfhound will catch these days is cancer.
I take it ur talking from experience then? We have 3 lurchers one old bitch and 2 collie greys. Great wee dogs like. Have been told to get deerhound x from other folk might look into this.
