Celtic Clover Hounds
Meet the breeder
I'm Tonya G., the breeder behind Celtic Clover Hounds located in Utah. Temperament, health, longevity, and athleticism are the goals of our breeding. We are sticking as close to the Irish Wolfhound breed standard as possible including that they are “remarkable in combining power and swiftness… very muscular, strong though gracefully built; movements easy and active.”.
Q. & A. with Tonya
Why did you start breeding?
We got into breeding originally because of our love for the breed and being excited that we finally found it. We started learning everything we could about health testing recommendations and what is important structurally for an Irish Wolfhound to be correct. Now we’re ready to start helping preserve this breed.What makes your program special?
We focus on healthy, athletic hounds. It’s important that our dogs still be capable of serving the function they were originally bred for while also being well rounded, people friendly dogs. We put a lot of time into our dogs to ensure they are sound structurally as well as in all of the different environments we can put them into.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
