I just wanted to introduce myself and my IW Brougan. I'm excited to have found this website, and eager to talk to other people who don't think it's insane to own 1 or MORE Giant breed dogs!! My name is Kim, by the way.

Welcome Kim! Your pup is GORGEOUS!!! ;D
-
Hello and welcome! Your pup is adorable, gotta love that scruffy face!
My name is Chris, and my crew is listed below.

Thanks!! I think he's beautiful, but I may be biased....LOL

Welcome Kim. I bet Brougan's eyes could melt mom's heart. I love the scruffy mug.
-
Welcome! We so don't think you're crazy (see the two beasts in my sig, LOL).
-
Welcome Kim! I saw an IW for the first time up close and personal a few days ago. My heart was pounding in my chest, then my foot was pounding in pain because she walked on it...lol!
They seem to have such a docile personality, at least this one did, my 9 mos old mastiff was all over her. I think he was amazed at her size, I know I was!!!
Look forward to hearing more about him.

Hi Kim,
How could ANYONE think you're crazy owning those pooches? I'll be more than happy to take Brougan :-* off your feeding list!
I'm Patty and my girls are above and below!
Chantilly is my puppy girl. She's 12 weeks.
PS-Never mind just Brougan--I'll take BOTH of them :-*

Welcome to BPO. Love your pups ;D

I found this site myself about 8 mnths ago and love it! I adopted my komondor/lab mix from a local shelter in Feb when she was just 8 weeks old and I can't believe her growth so far. 10 months and 97lbs! Anyway, alot of people say she looks kinda like she may have IW in her. With a mix you never know. She was solid black with four white toes when I got her. She looks more like a "russian blue"now. She is all gray with four white legs. Regardless, welcome! I lover your pooch.

Welcome, fellow IW owner....we have two and are hoping to have puppies in Jan. We are also in the process of getting another wolfie from Poland.
Its great here, ask as many questions, everyone is very helpful!

Welcome and it's exciting to see another IW owner. I have such a special place in my heart for them, even though the ones i have greatest experience with have been mixed breed wolfhounds. They are such gentle giants and so lovey.

Thanks everyone for the kind words of welcome!! My other Giant dog is a Wolfhound mix--I LOVE IWs, but they are not the healthiest breed by any means, and I'm struggling to get mine to age 7. So last year when a friend was looking to breed her Great Dane, I asked if she'd mind breeding to my Brougan. I kept a pup, now about a year old, and named him Dearg. He's way too much Dane in looks, but I can see some of my Brougan in him too. And if TWO wasn't enough, I went out and bought another Dane/Wolfhound mix from a lady who's Wolfhound decided she liked a friend's Dane better than the other IW she WANTED to breed her to. Her name is Tiegan, and she is a Blue Merle in color. Much more Wolfhound in looks than Dearg. I was keeping my options open as far as breeding Dearg and Tiegan in the future (these guys are SOOOO great, and I'm not sure how I will ever find another, since no one breeds them on purpose), but, alas, Dearg developed a severe infection in his testicles and is now neutered. Oh, well, I guess it just wasn't meant to be.
Thanks again, everyone, and I look forward to chatting with you all in the future about the Giants!! Oh, and here's a recent pic of Tiegan
