I love Irish Wolf Hounds...
This page grew out of my love for Irish Wolf Hounds. They have served us and stood by us for centuries and this site is dedicated to them and all they have done through time for us
Irish Wolf Hounds: What type of dog are they?
Physical Characteristics of the Breed
Like every other official dog breed there are many specific qualifications that would rank them high on the most representative of the breed. There are some very specific requirements listed at the AKC site.
An breed has a rather square head and a slim body. Usually they have a white and grey mixed color coat of medium length but sometimes the color can be a combination of tanish brown with a redish tone or even black tones. A distinguishing trait that these dogs have besides being the largest dog in the world, is their ability to see very well. It was effectively used in the time when they were breed for war. In Roman times they were so feared that they were often moved in a lion cage but today's breed is known as "a gentle giant".
In a post for another day I will be discussing the health and well being of the largest dog in the world but as a precursor I am posting a disturbing video that talks about what is going on in the dog food industry that came to everyone's attention in 2007. Take a quick look at the video below and see if you find it as informative as I did.

For dogs, these ones are better than most to be sure - and I have read often of the friendship between Finn MacCumhail and his hounds. But does anyone ever write about the Irish WolfCat? We are pretty famous too.
