By 391 AD the Irish Wolfhound had made his way all the way to Rome. In Roman literature seven of them were gifted to the Roman Consul Quintas Aurelius. It was stated that “all Rome viewed with wonder”.
A wolfhound puppy can weigh more than 100lbs(45KG’s).
The Irish Wolfhound’s average size can range from 2 to 3 feet at its shoulder. Compared in size to a small pony, the giant dog is actually a calm family companion.
