Irish Wolfhound - hier et aujourd’hui, Gérard Alixanian, 191 pages, illustrations en NB et couleur, en français.
Commande : auprès de l’auteur : alixanian@aol.com

L’événement est suffisamment rare dans le monde cynophile pour être souligné : nous saluons l’arrivée d’un nouveau livre en français sur l’Irish Wolfhound. L’auteur a voulu donner une synthèse des conseils prodigués par de grands éleveurs de renom, pour la plupart anglo-saxons, en y apportant sa propre expérience de la race et de son élevage.
Le style est vivant et très agréable à lire, loin des collections « multi races » un peu rébarbatives, rédigées par des journalistes ne connaissant qu’approximativement la race dont ils parlent.
La présentation est également originale et rend l’ensemble très plaisant, même si vous avez l’impression de déjà tout connaître sur le Lévrier Irlandais.
Ce livre sera, à n’en pas douter, très utile aux futurs ou récents propriétaires, soucieux d’élever au mieux leur chiot mais également aux habitués qui désirent approfondir leur connaissance ou se lancer dans l’élevage.

Irsk Ulvehund i Norge – The Irish Wolfhound in Norway
The IUKN (IWH Club Norway) has published a really beautifully made book on our breed in Norway.
Tracing back the clubs history from 1977 to 2001, it shows the achievements of the club, organisation and healthwise, etc. There are lots of very interesting data, pictures of the club show winners and the champions, as well as a big section with the photos and pedigrees of nearly all Norvegian bred Wolfhounds – likewise Betty Murphy’s Photo-Pedigree Book on English/Irish bred hounds. A CD containing the pedigrees is included with the book. (Price: approx. 70$ + p and p).
To order the book, please contact:
