Irish Wolfhound

History/

The Irish Wolfhound is the largest breed of greyhound dog chasing mobile prey, as well as the tallest dog in the world. One of the first mentions of these animals dates back to 391 AD, when the Roman consul Aurelius wrote of the "great surprise and delight" experienced by the inhabitants of Rome and the aristocracy, at the sight of seven wolfhounds brought by legionaries from the campaign.

In Ireland, these dogs were extremely appreciated for their fighting qualities, fearlessness, and immense strength. In battle, the Irish wolfhound was used to knock a rider off a horse, and, often, on the ground, this same rider was with the horse. They hunted big game, Irish elk, wolf, and bear.

The legislation of Ireland in the Middle Ages allowed only royalty and nobles to have an Irish wolfhound. Moreover, the number of dogs that could be kept directly depended on the height of the title.

Irish tradition says that the folk hero Finn McCoumhill had at least 500 Irish wolfhounds, of which two were favorites - their names were Bran and Schiolan. They occurred, allegedly, as a result of magic and magic.

Irish wolfhounds were often used by nobles and kings as an expensive gift. Moreover, this gift was often delivered in an expensive collar made of pure gold or silver. One of the most popular and beloved stories of the Irishman, tells about a dog named Gellert, which was presented to the Prince of Wales Llewelyn by the English King John in 1210.

One day, a dog protected the Prince of Wales's son from a wolf by killing him while his father was hunting. When he returned from the hunt and saw the dog in blood, he thought that the dog had killed his young son, and hacked him to death with a blow of the sword. However, he later discovered the body of a wolf and an unharmed baby, which was smeared with the blood of a dead predator. In honor of his devoted dog Gellert, the prince erected a commemorative tomb in Caernarvon, Wales - it can be seen in our days.

A huge role in reducing the population of Irish wolfhounds was played by the hunting of large elk and wolves in Ireland. Since they were practically exterminated, the dogs simply ceased to be bred, which is why the breed for some time was even on the verge of extinction.

In the mid-19th century, he wrote a book where he suggested that the Irish wolfhound and the mountain deer were of the same origin (today such a ridiculous assumption will cause laughter). He began breeding Irish wolfhounds, basing his breeding program on the Glengarry reindeer herders, and achieved considerable success. Later, George Augustus Graham, another breeder, was added to the breeding program. Tibetan mastiffs, greyhounds, and great at.

Description / Irish wolfhound temperament

The Irish Wolfhound is a really huge breed. They are the tallest dogs in the world and some of the largest dogs on the planet. The limbs are long, and the chest is pronounced, wide, and voluminous. The physique is muscular and powerful. On the head, the transition from the forehead to the eyes is clearly pronounced. The ears hang down the sides of the head, and the tail is longer than average.

 

Personality / Irish wolfhound temperament

Despite its huge size and intimidating appearance, the Irish wolfhound in the circle of his family is an extremely affectionate, loyal, and loving dog. For a long time, he is away from his family and the owner he cannot. Children will ride it like a pony, you can be sure of this since your pet simply will not be able to resist the childish charm.

He loves children very much, loves to play with them, and just loves to be in the circle of children's attention. However, it is impossible to allow children to ride a dog like a pony, since the joints of these animals, including the spine, will be injured. And given that the Irish Wolfhound breed in principle has many health problems and skeletons,s in particular, it is better to take care of their health.

By the way, they also do not live long - only 6-8 years, a maximum of 10 but very rarely, and no more. The Irish Wolfhound dog breed has an average level of energy, but this does not mean that he can lie at home on a pillow all day. This is absolutely not the case. They need an active lifestyle to keep their large body in good shape, as muscles and joints require movement and load, but the load is correct.

The Irish Wolfhound is normal towards strangers, and if they are family friends, then seeing the location of the owners, the dog will treat them with friendliness. Their fighting nature can mostly manifest itself when confronted with another dog, although they may well be friends with dogs without conflict. Small pets may be perceived as potential prey, due to the hunter's rich past, so that with cats they should be introduced at an early age, and early socialization should be carried out.

The Irish Wolfhound breed is not very often used as a watchdog, as it is not very territorial and does not give a voice too actively. However, they may well be aware of themselves in this capacity and are quite capable of learning.

In addition, the huge size of the dog and its frightening appearance can make the attacker change his mind. After all, to remain unharmed after a fight with such an animal is simply unrealistic - moreover, the attacker can simply remain crippled. In any case, it is a faithful companion and a reliable defender.

 

Teaching

The dog of the Irish Wolfhound breed normally perceives the learning process and is amenable to education. They need physical exertion, and the training process is necessary food for the mind.

You should definitely teach your pet basic commands, in addition, great emphasis should be placed on obedience in case of distractions. This is necessary so that you can stop your dog in any conflict situation since a fight with any other dog (with rare exceptions) in the park is likely to end very badly for the opponent, if not fatally.

It cannot be said that the Irish wolfhound is distinguished by special aggression and bloodlust, but it is not worth discounting its deep past as a hunter and fighter.

 

Care

Hard curly hair needs to be combed once or twice a week. During walks in the park or forest belt, the Irish wolfhound can enthusiastically climb the bushes, and therefore after a walk be sure to inspect it for ticks.

Ears should be cleaned 2-3 times a week, eyes - daily. The claws are trimmed three times a month, and bathe the animal once a week.

One of the first mentions of these animals dates back to 391 AD, when the Roman consul Aurelius wrote of the "great surprise and delight" experienced by the inhabitants of Rome and the aristocracy, at the sight of seven wolfhounds brought by legionaries from the campaign. In Ireland, these dogs were extremely appreciated for their fighting qualities, fearlessness, and immense strength. In battle, the Irish wolfhound was used to knock a rider off a horse, and, often, on the ground, this same rider was with the horse. They hunted big game, Irish elk, wolf, and bear. The legislation of Ireland in the Middle Ages allowed only royalty and nobles to have an Irish wolfhound. Moreover, the number of dogs that could be kept directly depended on the height of the title. Irish tradition says that the folk hero Finn McCoumhill had at least 500 Irish wolfhounds, of which two were favorites - their names were Bran and Schiolan. They occurred, allegedly, as a result of magic and magic. Irish wolfhounds were often used by nobles and kings as an expensive gift. Moreover, this gift was often delivered in an expensive collar made of pure gold or silver.

One day, a dog protected the Prince of Wales's son from a wolf by killing him while his father was hunting. When he returned from the hunt and saw the dog in blood, he thought that the dog had killed his young son, and hacked him to death with a blow of the sword. However, he later discovered the body of a wolf and an unharmed baby, which was smeared with the blood of a dead predator. In honor of his devoted dog Gellert, the prince erected a commemorative tomb in Caernarvon, Wales - it can be seen in our days. A huge role in reducing the population of Irish wolfhounds was played by the hunting of large elk and wolves in Ireland. Since they were practically exterminated, the dogs simply ceased to be bred, which is why the breed for some time was even on the verge of extinction. In the mid-19th century, he wrote a book where he suggested that the Irish wolfhound and the mountain deer were of the same origin (today such a ridiculous assumption will cause laughter).
