The Irish Wolfhound
The Great Wolfhound of Ireland.
The dog's great size, 2' 8" to 2' 115 to 180 lbs, made this breed an important addition to the Roman wars. The Irish Wolfhound was originally used to drag men
off of their horses and chariots.
In addition they were great large game hunters. Don't worry today they wont drag you or your kids off of your bikes!
As of this century...
This breed is an big affectionate love bug. A friendly personality that loves children and other dogs! Oh and according to this photo... maybe couches!
I can kinda relate to this guy's look today, I've been painting a lot!
