Introduction
As the largest of the hound breeds, the Irish Wolfhound is a gentle giant renowned for its laid-back, calm temperament and relaxed attitude to life. With their height and athletic build, they can cover ground at speed when they choose to, but most Irish Wolfhounds are not in a hurry and are happy to spend their days doing whatever their people are doing.
History
The Irish Wolfhound is an ancient breed that may have ancestry dating back to 7000 BC. It’s former name of “Cu” in old Irish translates as Irish hound, wolf dog, or war dog, and they’re mentioned in ancient Irish texts that were written in the 5th century. As prized hunting dogs, owning one depended on your status, and kings would gift them to nobles and rulers of other nations. After wolves were eradicated in Ireland in the 1700s, the Irish Wolfhound began finding its place as a companion dog in family homes.
Personality
Friendly, calm, and gentle-natured, the Irish Wolfhound is a loyal and loving family pet in any home that’s big enough to accommodate its size. Although athletic, they’re not energetic dogs, and provided they’re given an appropriate amount of daily exercise, they’ll happily fit into family life and adapt to whatever is going on. They are too friendly to be effective as guard dogs, but their natural hunting instinct can make life challenging for cats and other small animals. As a people-oriented breed, they don’t do well if left alone.

Care Tips | Irish Wolfhounds are relatively low maintenance, but exercise needs are high. Grooming: a weekly brush will keep things tidy, and hand-stripping is needed twice each year. Feeding: two meals per day of high-quality food. Exercise: a minimum of two hours of exercise is needed daily, but they’re as happy with a gentle stroll as they are a brisk jog. Freedom to roam around in a secure garden is ideal, but fences will need to be high. |
