Occasional litters · lifelong responsibility

Future Irish Wolfhound litters

Bilkau is a small, home-based programme, not a source of continually available puppies. Litters are considered carefully and every enquiry begins with a conversation.

The right reasons come before a date.

How Bilkau approaches a litter

Bilkau does not breed to keep puppies continually available. A litter is considered only when the timing, the dogs and the purpose are right. That means there may be a long wait, and there may be no firm date when you first get in touch.

A first conversation does not guarantee a puppy, ask for a deposit or commit either side. The right home and the right match matter more than the order in which an enquiry arrives.

Before enquiring, please read about the breed's health and daily care. An informed hesitation is better than a hurried yes.

A considered conversation

Learn first, then take your time.

  1. Understand the breed

    Read about Wolfhound health, scale, daily care and lifespan before deciding whether the breed could fit your life.

  2. Contact Kim

    Ask questions and, if you are interested in a future litter, share a little about your home, family, other animals and experience.

  3. Let the fit guide you

    If a future litter and your home feel right for one another, the conversation continues without pressure. Temperament and lifelong fit guide every placement.

Would you like to be considered for a future litter?

Contact Kim through the general contact form. It is also there for breed questions, visits, rescue enquiries and anything else you would like to discuss.

For the whole life

Every placement carries a way home.

If circumstances change, a Bilkau hound can always return. That lifetime responsibility begins before a litter is born.
