The Irish Wolfhound Club of Victoria Inc. was formed in 1977, with the inaugural meeting taking place on 25th July. Mrs. Herta Buxey (ABDILLYA) was appointed as the first secretary and Lt. Col. N.B. Scott (OLE) as president. The inaugural Open Show, held on 10th June 1979 was judged by Miss G. Acreman (Vic), whilst Mrs. S. Mashford (Vic) was chosen to judge the first club Championship Show on 22nd March 1980. Many secretaries have come and gone over the years, but the longest serving was the late Mrs. Agnes Hocking (MAYNOOTH), who was one of the foundation members and served on the committee before becoming secretary. She held the position from 1984 to 1992. Within Victoria, most shows are held under the auspices of the Victorian Canine Association at KCC Park, Westernport Highway, Skye. The Club organises activities for both pet owners and members who are interested in showing their dogs. A quarterly magazine, titled "CU", contains articles of interest, show results and news of club events while there is also an active Facebook group where details of merchandise, raffles and other activities are promoted. The Club provides a Rescue Service for dogs that have been surrendered, abandoned or identified in Dog Pounds and as such we fund raise to ensure we are able to care for these dogs when required. The rules, regulations and by-laws of the club are available to download from this website. Rules and Regulations

Latest updates and eventsUpdate on Club events: The Committee and Members of the Irish Wolfhound Club of Victoria Inc. would like to thank our outgoing President, Lindy Knell for her contribution to the Club in her role as our President for the past 8 years since 2015. Lindy had been a steadfast proponent of Irish Wolfhounds and the Victorian Club for many years before her appointment to the position of President; having served as a Committee Member for many years previously. Lindy attended and showed her hounds at our Championship Shows each year with much success. Over the last few years, Lindy has taken over the role of chief raffle officer- designing and printing our raffle tickets and tirelessly procuring prizes for our raffles by contacting a huge number of companies for donations. Our raffle prizes have grown bigger and more diverse each year, due to Lindy’s efforts. Lindy has made a meaningful contribution to our Club and we thank her for her dedication to our breed. Lindy will continue to serve Irish Wolfhounds and our Club by contributing to the breed with a litter of puppies in the not to distant future and we wish her all the best. Thank You Lindy.
