Irish Wolfhound Cardiac Health Testing

As part of the Life Cycle Study, the Irish Wolfhound Foundation will sponsor EKGs for cardiac health at the show site on Saturday, August 23, 2025. 

In order to have your hound tested, please sign up online at The Irish Wolfhound Foundation ยท LCS II Dog Data to enter your hound in the Life Cycle Study II. 

There is no cost for the EKGs. If an owner would like to make a donation to the Irish Wolfhound Foundation, it will be gratefully accepted and this can also be done on the Foundation website. 

EKGs will be evaluated by email. No pre-registration for particular time slots is needed as the EKGs will be done on a walk-in basis. These may take a few days to evaluate.
