At one glance at the Irish wolfhound, it begins to seem that this is a typical tough nut that will not be easy to get along with. In reality, everything is exactly the opposite: any average “Irishman” is madly attached to the owner. The dog does not cringe and does not humiliate himself, but this does not prevent the animal from cherishing communication with the person who took him to his house. In addition, Irish Wolfhound dogs masterfully control their own aggression, saving this quality for a serious opponent and never using it against someone who is obviously weaker. So feel free to leave the children in the care of the pet: he will approach the matter with all responsibility and caution.
One of the gentlest dog breeds, the giant Irish wolfhound has a rich and old history – full of amazing facts you probably never knew!
Bred for their tall stature, they were used to knock knights off their horses in Ireland where they were used as war dogs as well as hunting dogs.
The great Irish chief Fionn mac Cumhall did not even use horses or chariots but instead was said to have two hounds for every foot soldier. The Chief himself is said to have had over two hundred adult hounds.
