Their large size may be intimidating, but don’t mistake them for a great guard dog. This overly friendly breed isn’t aggressive and tends to trust strangers too much.
A note penned in 391 A.D. from a Roman consul to his brother mentioned this breed of dog, thanking him for the gift of an “Irish dog.” He went on to say: “All Rome viewed them in wonder.”
“Wolfdogs of Ireland” were of utmost prestige; often presented as gifts to Roman consuls, kings, shahs of Persia, and other world leaders. They were often delivered wearing chains and collars made from authentic silver and gold.
