Gwinn-Dell's Ruairi Calhoon
"Ruairi"
Ruairi (Rory) is Don's boy. Pick male from our 2nd litter, at 13 weeks, Ruairi fell while playing with his siblings and severely injured his stifle. Because of his age and the rapid growth of Wolfhound puppies, surgery was not an option. Faced with a life of constant pain, euthanasia was suggested. Ruairi was already in our hearts, so this was not an option for us. Instead we tried hydrotherapy and each week Ruairi showed more strength and less pain. He recovered 100%! He moves with power and drive and is true coming and going. His first show was at 13 months of age. He won 3rd place in the Bred-By- Exhibitor Hound Group. Since then he has taken first place Specialty classes and again won 3rd place in the Bred-By- Exhibitor Hound Group at the Cascade Hound Specialty. We look for great things from this young boy.
