Caroline Sheppard – short profile for judging appointment in Belgium 2024
My obsession with Irish Wolfhounds began in early childhood, but I had to wait until 1990 before Willow, our first Wolfhound, joined the family – and we’ve never been without a Wolfhound (or five!) since. Willow was a great introduction to this wonderful breed and lived until she was over 12 years old. 

Since starting showing in the early 90’s, I’ve owned and handled several champions to their titles, with a hound from our last Goldswift litter being crowned in 2019. Three of his siblings are CC winners and our current Champion Tawny, (Ch Gaelmarque Treasured by Goldswift JW) is the daughter of one and granddaughter of another.

My judging experience began with informal show appointments, before progressing to Open Shows in 1997. I have awarded Challenge Certificates 5 times since my first Championship Show invitation in 2009 and I’m judging again this August, at the UK Irish Wolfhound Club Championship Show.

Appreciation of Wolfhound form and function has helped refine my work as a sculptor, for which knowledge of anatomy is essential. When I judge Irish Wolfhounds, I look for hounds who possess curves without exaggeration, and strength without coarseness, with an ease of movement which shows power and stamina. Typically, Irish Wolfhounds should give the impression that they could do the job for which they were originally bred. It’s all about maintaining balance and symmetry, when both standing and moving.   A flying phobia prevents me from accepting many overseas judging offers. However in 2012, I was able to fulfil the kind invitation to judge the Belgian Club’s Junior & Veteran Day; a trip which I enjoyed enormously. I was invited to judge at your Championship Show in 2020, but this wasn’t possible due to the pandemic. So I’m delighted finally to be returning this year and looking forward to meeting you and your lovely hounds.

Many questions still exist about cancer in dogs. This website aims to provide answers by gathering relevant and independent information. As such, you can find information on which dog breeds are more sensitive to develop certain tumour types, how you can support your dog during their treatment and what your veterinarian can do for your dog. Furthermore, the Facebook group allows dog owners to exchange questions about cancer, as well as share experiences and tips.

The information on this site is independent, neutral and has been created in collaboration with veterinary specialists. The site content is intended to be complementary and does in no way replace the advice of your veterinarian.
