"ARD RI Arlo", *27. 01. 1990 (ARD RI Yo-Yo X ARD RI Wendy) a dog from the second ARD RI A-litter went to the kennel "Alloway" of Dr. Spadiut in Graz, Austria. He became used in the kennel „of Blackmore“ with the bitch „Alloway's Aileen, *09. 06. 1988 (Attila of Blackmoore x ARD RI Iona) for their N litter.
The bitch „D Ch ARD RI Candy“, *25. 02. 1992 (D Ch Jeronimo of Blackmore X C Ch ARD RI Wendy) also went to the kennel „Maol Cu“. She became there the mother of the G-litter with the male "D Ch Gentle Giants Waggery Bill". The two Championbitches "D VDH Ch Maol Cu Grey Genesis" and "D Ch Maol Cu Glenny Gail" arose from this combination.
"D Ch Gentle Giants Tea for Two" *31. 03. 1990 a daughter of "ARD RI Yo-Yo" and "Gentle Giants Laureen",was taken over in the own kennel. She became in the combination with "D Ch Gentle Giants Viktor" the mother of the ARD RI D-litter, born on the 22. 09. 1992.
For the second ARD RI F-litter Tea was bred to "D Ch Gentle Giants Waggery Bill". The nice bitch "ARD RI Foxy Lady", *11. 07. 1994 arose from it. This bitch went originally to the kennel "Gentle Giants". After the death of the breeder Theo and Marion Marpe fetched back her again in the own kennel

"ARD RI Foxy Lady", *11. 07. 1994 (D Ch Gentle Giants Waggery Bill x D Ch Gentle Giants Tea for Two) became the mother of the last ARD RI litter. The G-litter, *20. 12. 1997 to the male “USA D Ch Calorien Rubens Fionn of Eagle“ was the last born Irish Wolfhound litter in the kennel ARD RI.
In nearly twenty years 33 Irish Wolfhound litters with a total of 161 puppies were born in the ARD RI kennel. Among these were World Winners, Vice-World Winners, Junior World Winners, Verbandssieger DWZRV, Bundessieger VDH, Bundesjugendsieger VDH, Europajugendsieger VDH, Europasieger VDH, a lot of Landessieger, various winners UICL and 25 champions have arisen from it. Just so many dogs from the kennel were used in other kennels to the breeding. These ARD RI hounds have contributed in many young kennels decisively to their breeding success and have costamped the appearance of the Irish Wolfhounds in Germany in their progeny for years decisively.
Marion and Theo Marpe decided in 1998 to stop on account of the illness of Theo Marpe, with the Irish Wolfhound breeding and moved to Spain. After eleven years they came back again to Germany and both act as a judge among other breeds for the Irish Wolfhound breed.
