SUNSTAG (Reg.) has bred quality, award-winning, multi-purpose hounds for over 25 years. We are a small, selective kennel where . . .
~  World Renown Owner/Breeder/Exhibitor/Judge, Dixie Hirsch, strives for well-rounded hounds--size, function and temperament for companions, conformation, obedience, agility, therapy and coursing.
~  Quality, soundness and type come through a careful back-to-basics breeding program.
~  For over five generations, sires and dams have been tested clear of HD/vWD/Thyroid imbalance and most have multi-nation titles before breeding.
~  Health, happiness, safety and continued follow-up of our "kids" are the major concerns.
~  Visitors are welcome to come and play; our hounds are all in-house companions.
~  Puppy selection process is done by SUNSTAG (Reg.) only; litter reservations and deposits are required.
~  Our mandatory sales contract includes an enforceable breed protection clause.
~  Referrals, resource information and just plain dog-talk cheerfully shared. Telephone calls, letters, FAXes, E-Mail courteously and promptly answered.
~  Pedigrees and color photos of litters are available upon request...visit our website!
SUNSTAG(Reg.) . . . Home of some of the World's Most Multi-Titled and Functional Home-Bred Irish Wolfhounds and breeder/owner of the first AKC Irish Wolfhound Field Champion (FCH/Dual Am/States/Mex/UC&FC Int'l/German CH Sunstag Cala Lili, FCH/LCM); the first AKC Irish Wolfhound Dual Champion (Dual AM/Mex/FC Int'l CH Sunstag Poppy Purehart, FCH); and we have the distinction of owning the second AKC Irish Wolfhound Dual Champion female (Dual Am/Mex/FC Int'l CH MacShoi Bonnie Blue Sunstag, FCh). We currently (1998) are breeder of the first new Dual CH and the first new Field CH of the year, a father and son "team" (Dual Am/Mex/Int'l CH Sunstag My Man Godfrey, SC/FCh and FCh Sunstag Zak O'Lantern, SC). We see to it that our hounds do what they were meant to do -- course a "prey", be it live or plastic -- and live longer in the process. We hope you will keep in touch with us when you are ready for an Irish Wolfhound. We have quite a limited number of puppies available each year and you don't want to be left out! Thank you for your interest in SUNSTAG (Reg.). Here are a few of our "kids"...
