This dog though not as heavy and massive as the Great Dane is more so than the 

 Deerhound. He has a commanding appearance and is very muscular, strongly though 

 gracefully built, with movements easy and active. The head is long, skull not too broad, 

 and muzzle moderately pointed. Eyes dark in color, ears small and of the greyhound 

 type, neck very strong, muscular and well arched, w 7 kh a long back and muscular thighs. 

 The tail is long and slightly curved and well covered with hair. Coat should be rough 

 and hard on the body, legs and head, and especially long and wiry over the eyes and 

 under the jaw. 



This breed is undoubtedly of great antiquity and was freely bred and used hundreds 

 of years ago in Ireland for the hunting of wolves. When wolves became extinct the 

 breeding of Irish Wolfhounds came to its lowest ebb, but during the last twenty years 

 great strides have been made to resuscitate, and it is now one of the most popular of 

 the large varieties on the show bench.
