Irish Wolfhound

The Irish Wolfhound is an enormous dog breed known for its towering size and gentle disposition. These dogs have a dignified appearance with a rough coat that comes in various colors. They are calm, friendly, and good with children and other pets. Despite their intelligence, they may require patient training. While not particularly active, they need moderate exercise and should avoid strenuous activity during their growth. Unfortunately, they have a relatively short lifespan. Historically, they were used for hunting and guarding. Irish Wolfhounds make wonderful family pets for those who can accommodate their size and provide proper care and training.
