Originally known as Cu, a Gaelic word that means hound, wolf dog, or war dog, there are many mentions of this impressive dog in Irish literature over the centuries.
The Irish Wolfhound has served as the Regimental Mascot of the 1st Battalion Irish Guards since its formation in 1900.
To commemorate the three New York regiments of the Irish Brigade who fought in the Civil War, a Celtic cross was constructed with an Irish Wolfhound lying at its base. The Irish Wolfhound is a symbol of honor and fidelity to the people of Ireland.
