The Irish Wolfhound is the tallest breed of dog. Given a home that reaches his high scale needs, he is a loving companion. Despite his huge size, he is a gentle and friendly, good natured with children, and very affectionate toward his owners. With a dog this size, he may weigh as much as his owners, and, is very strong, so good training is essential. Although adult Wolfhounds are generally as mannerly as a dog can possibly be, puppies (up to two or three years old) are mischievous whirlwinds and are hard work.
The Wolfhound harks back to the great Celtic hounds of pre-Roman times, where they served as war dogs as well as hunters. However, the breed was almost extinct by the 17th century. The modern Wolfhound is mostly because of the 19th century reconstruction.
