The Irish Wolfhound

Sight Hound

The Boys and a pup from Taliesin Irish Wolfhounds

As the tallest of breeds the Irish Wolfhound is also one of the world's gentlest dogs. Great with children, loyal to its family, and needing lots of TLC in return. Their size may be the only thing to discourage unwanted visitors because it will welcome all visitors. Train and handle in a firm manner. If you get a Wolfhound puppy just remember how large it will get, quickly. A full grown male Wolfhound can grow to 3 feet at the shoulders and 150 pounds. This is a rural dog wanting plenty of room to run and play. Brush on at least a weekly basis.

Book Suggestions


We STRONGLY recommend that you get your dog from a respectable breeder or rescue organization. Pet store puppies may get their dogs from Puppy Mills that normally breed only for profit, not quality or concern for the puppy or its eventual owner.

If you would like help locating a breeder or rescue agency near you please E-Mail PGAA ( ita408@comcast.net), and let us know your city/state and the type of dog you are looking for. Do not assume that PGAA has qualified all of the breeders or rescues on this site. Do your own check of each breeder or rescue -- be sure that you are comfortable with the organization before you buy, adopt or turn-over a dog.
