Champion Gwinn-Dell's Killylea MacTire
"MacTire" AKA "MacT"
(Ch. Gwinn-Dell's Gle Mor Faolan CD, CGC X Ch Noinin Cnoc Caramia Catsmeow)
"Of great size and commanding appearance," MacTire (Mack Terra), is a big, curvey guy who passes this on to his puppies. MacTire started his career winning Best in Match at IWCWV in 1999 under Finnish breeder\judge Marku Mahonan (Powderhorn) over 100 + other Wolfhounds. He won Highest Scoring Dog in Match and Best Stud Dog at this same show. (His son, Ceallachan won Best Puppy in Match). MacTire attained his 2nd major (5 points) and then taking BOB under breedr judge, Linn Simon (Stoneybrook). Joel Samaha awarded him "Best Type" at the 2000 IWCWV match and Rosemary Wortman awarded him Best Champion at IWCWV in 2001. Again, MacTire was Highest Scoring Dog in Trial and Best Stud Dog. "MacT" was shown on a limited basis. His puppies are following in their dad's pawprints. A bout with pneumonia ended MacT's show career. Thankfully he recovered and still reigns as the king of the Wolfhounds and my "Heart-Hound" here at Gwinn-Dell.
