Among the 530 Irish Wolfhounds recorded above, the Prefix which outstripped all others was Mrs. M. Saunder's "Erindale," with 46 "Erindale" hounds being listed among the longer lived hounds.
The following prefixes appeared between 20 and 28 times: "Drakesleat," "Solstrand," "Eaglescrag" and "Killykeen."
The following prefixes appeared between 12 and 16 times: "Sanctuary," "Melanter," "Gulliagh," "Brabyns," "Carrokeel" and "Petesmeade."
The following prefixes appeared between 7 and 10 times: "Bokra," "Knocknarea," "Nutstown," "Tolkavalley," "Athcarne," "Marumac," "Ballykelly," "Mochras," "Sepulechar," "Lenhams" and "Owenmore."
The following prefixes appeared between 5 and 6 times: "Cleaseac," "Corniman," "Hibeck," "Careidg," and "Coolbreagh."
The following prefixes appeared between 3 and 4 times: "Clanellan," "Chapelleigh," "Finloren," "Oakenshield," "Outhwaite," "Pendomers," "Rathdaws," and "Royden."
The following prefixes appeared twice: "Ballalyn's," "Ballinteer," "Bearnabui," "Camlet," "Chater," "Culvercroft," "Derryquinn," "Galtymore," "Ladestar," "Mellor," "Moonvoy," "Nellwyns," "Nendrum," "Thornwick," "Tullygirvan" and "Witchesbroom."
The above can only be taken as a very rough indication; age updates of many Prefixes were not supplied; others were only partially supplied. Breeders who only breed occasionally will naturally have fewer entries.
It was my hope in recording the lifespan that breeders would be able to note the long lived hounds in their pedigrees and take this into consideration when planning future breeding. Each delegate at the 1996 EIWC was given a copy of the full list to make available for their Club members.
