Breeding

Breeding at Tresmorn is done on a very limited basis and only when I want to keep a puppy or puppies.  Every dog should not be bred and many facets are considered prior to breeding including overall health and temperament as well as adhering to the breed standard and remembering their original purpose – to run down and kill wolves.  My dogs are screened for hips and elbows via OFA and have echocardiograms done on their hearts prior to breeding.  Any outside males will be deemed healthy by their breeders. 

My dogs are naturally reared as much as possible which includes being raw fed.  Puppies will be weaned onto a raw diet, and I prefer to place puppies in homes that raw feed or will consider a transition.​

All my puppies will be placed as companion only dogs with AKC limited registration.  This means they cannot be shown or bred from.  Puppies will have a full veterinary exam, microchip, multiple dewormings, liver shunt tests, chiropractic adjustments, and initial vaccines before going to their new homes at 10-12 weeks.​

Breeding for the right reasons to create dogs of sound body, mind, and health is not an endeavor that should be taken lightly.  I care deeply for every dog I have shared my life with including every puppy born here and will continue to do so for their entire lives.  Please be prepared for my extensive puppy questionnaire and to come visit the dogs and myself before I choose if you are the right home for a Tresmorn Irish Wolfhound.
