PIERCE IRISH WOLFHOUNDS

Hulda came to us at eight weeks old. The first few days in her new home were made a little easier for her as she had her litter brother Toby and her father, Faust Cudama, with her. Those early days gave her a chance to get to know Kvisto, Connan and Zala while still having time to play with Toby and Faust.

She is a playful puppy and determined to recruit Kvisto and Connan as her playmates. She has had to learn new rules, taught by the older dogs, but with her sweet nature she's rapidly becoming a full member of the Pierce pack.

Connan, her grandfather, is getting use to a having lively puppy around, and generously ignores her if she runs over his head while sleeping.

Hulda likes to be in a centre of attention, she greets all our visitors with great interest. But even more, she likes to be among the dogs. She lives for their attention and is in seventh heaven when the other dogs notice her.

Her character is changing as she grows. I hope we can offer her the right balance of teaching, love and, most importantly, trust, so that she develops into a typical wolfhound lady.

I would like to thank Mika and Henna for Hulda, this special little girl.
