I'm Michelle W., the breeder behind Earthsong kennel located in Oshkosh, WI. My dogs are bred to be able to function as they were meant to. I breed them for lure coursing, show, scent work and therapy dogs.
Q. & A. with Michelle
Why did you start breeding?
I bought my dream dog from a breeder I thought was good. It got sick, she was not there. I then saw it happening to more families. I decided I wanted to fix that. You should not have to pay out money for a puppy only to lose it a few months later while the "breeder" has your money and you have a broken heart.
What makes your program special?
I do lots of research in the pedigree and we raise the puppies with Puppy Culture to ensure a smooth transition to the puppies' new homes.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Great level
Earthsong kennel reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Irish Wolfhounds.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Serum Bile Acid Test
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
OFA/CHIC DNA Repository
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
