...which I neither
endorse nor am the responsible party for, I just link to them and
these links could be unreliable after the latest Revision.
We lost some, found some, corrected some. Oh, and I've tried to
stay away from those with Java-driven codes, heavy or
repetitive music, and garish colors. I hope you will find my selections
informative, fun and educational.
NOTE: I have not checked this entire list since Dec 2007.
Some links definitely could be unreliable.

Check it out. Ask questions. Get involved.
General Pet Info--Products, Supplies,
Transport, Still Undecided?
A
Canine Marketplace...PetSmart..full
of products and services for dogs and other species.
Comprehensive Club listings. Good site to browse through.
Dog Owner's Guide ...sponsored by Nature's Recipe, another good
source to browse articles and breed data, nutrition highlights,
and resource material. No, Irish Wolfhounds are not mentioned.
Very slow to load.
Dog Stuff ...I
liked this "homey" site! Unpretentious and enjoyable.
Well-built handcrafted items. Some of you may find a few items to
be pricey, but I'd bet the workmanship and Customer Service
policy will make you the winner. Limited catalog, but good!
House Signs
... The custom signs are constructed on rust-resistant baked
enamel aluminum, high quality magnetic sheeting, and weather
treated pine. Also offering Weathervanes, mailbox toppers,
stoneware pet dishes, pet memorials, and self-applied stickers.
Custom Flags
... Custom designed dog flags are made by double applique using a
200 denier nylon. These top quailty flags are available in
different background colors. Let people know what dog is in Your
household! These must be ordered by calling an 800#--no biggie
but does take a bit more time.
Dog
Breeders Online Directory.
The online Directory has been updated and offers a wide range of
contacts in U.S. and Canada! It is much better now. You could
possibly find a breeder closer to home.

Crates, PetSafe Electric Dog Fences, Pet Containment Fencing, and Discount Pet

but what I have read, looks good. Use at your own discretion.

the catalog pages! Great to have on hand for little things. Also
has grooming products, disinfectants, and equipments. Reasonable
prices.

free... This site could get better with time.

monthly-- on homeopathy and natural ways to keep your hound

Link to Herbals.
Provides a comprehensive herbal list and links to providers.
Cancer Care:
Hospice/Pawspice. ... Canine Cancer Awareness data for the Los Angeles Area.
It can lead you to your local Canine Cancer facilities and may you NEVER need
their services.
Allergy Aids. http://www.varlallergy.com/index.html
Check out these folks and if you have an allergic dog that your vet wants you
to take to a dermatologist or other specialist, suggest this blood test first.
It seems right as a first step and relatively reasonable. It is around $300.
Next step, after finding the food allergy, was the right food (in this case). I
have learned that other allergies are helped by a food change even if the
allergy itself is not food related, afterall nutrients in different combinations
create different absorptions etc. This product is not very expensive, they offer
free shipping and a free box of samples with all the flavors. So check out this
link (which is also ironic--a "wolf" helping an Irish WOLF hound<L>):
