O'Donoghue Irish Wolfhounds

O'Donoghue Irish Wolfhounds, Irish wolfhounds, Hooper, UT is a family kennel in Weber County and the Wasatch Front near Ogden. Owner Amy O'Donoghue has bred Irish wolfhounds for over fifteen years, maintaining American Kennel Club registration and regular health screenings for cardiac and bone conditions.

Puppies are raised in a home environment with daily handling, early socialization classes, and gentle exposure to household sounds and family activities. Adults enjoy spacious pastures on the property, regular walks and gentle play sessions that support their natural instinct to roam. Several adults have earned AKC lure coursing titles, and a few partnered with volunteers at local senior centers for informal therapy visits.

The kennel’s roots date back to a family farm established in the 1950s, reflecting a commitment to stewardship and animal welfare. Each litter is placed in homes with guidance on diet, training and health care to ensure a smooth transition. Many owners note their hounds’ calm demeanor and affectionate loyalty as defining traits.
