	A DISCUSSION OF THE CKC STANDARD FOR THE IRISH WOLFHOUND (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)

		However, it is very rare these days to find a Wolfhound bitch as small as the minimum 28 ins at the shoulder, more are 30 ins or more, and the tallest bitch that I have measured stood 35.5 ins using a stick and level.
