The Irish Wolfhound has one of the oldest and most dramatic histories of any dog breed. Large hunting hounds have been associated with Ireland for centuries, valued for their speed, courage and ability to hunt serious quarry. And the name tells you exactly what made them famous. Irish Wolfhounds were used to pursue wolves, as well as other large game, so these dogs needed to combine the speed of a sighthound with enough size, strength and bravery to take on an incredibly demanding job. They were also highly prized dogs, sometimes given as gifts between nobility and royalty, and became closely tied to Irish history and culture. But as wolves disappeared from Ireland, the need for these enormous hunting dogs disappeared with them. By the 1800s, the old Irish Wolfhound was becoming increasingly rare. Captain George Augustus Graham played a major role in rebuilding the breed, using the remaining dogs and crossing with other large breeds to help recreate the size and type associated with the historic Irish hound. And that history still makes sense when you look at the modern Wolfhound. They’re enormous, athletic dogs, but they’re also generally known for being gentle, affectionate and surprisingly calm around the home. That can make it easy to forget what they were originally capable of. Underneath that quiet exterior is a giant sighthound with generations of instinct behind them. And when you live with a dog of this size, good manners and training aren’t optional. Even a very friendly Wolfhound is an enormous amount of dog when they decide they want to go somewhere. A fascinating breed, and one of the best examples of how dramatically a dog’s role can change while so much of its history still remains visible today. #IrishWolfhound #DogBreedHistory #Sighthound #DogTraining #DogBehaviour
