You will have access to the experience of long-time breeders and owners who can mentor you and assist you with any questions you might have. Learn about health, grooming, showing, training, and much more through educational seminars, plus have the opportunity to meet a wonderful group of like-minded people at our various events.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our members are involved in many areas of dog activities, such as showing dogs in conformation exhibitions, obedience, rally and agility competitions, lure coursing and straight racing events, breeding, training, therapy dog visitations and last but not least, enjoying field trips with their companions. They also participate in parades, festivals, and pet fairs; this allows the public to meet and interact with the dogs and learn about this unique breed. If you have any questions, don&#8217;t hesitate to get in touch with us. <a href=\"mailto:irishwc.secretary@gmail.com\">irishwc.secretary@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<div id=\"metaslider-id-1652\" style=\"width: 100%;
