A regal history of Irish Wolfhounds dates back to 391 AD. Their mix is what gave them their name. Gaels used wolfhounds for hunting and called them Cu Faol (wolfhounds). Despite their mythological appearance, they are regarded as affectionate, sweet, and sometimes silly dogs. According to the World Canine Federation standards, this breed should be between 32 inches (81cm) and 34 inches (86cm) in height.
Big dogs can look intimidating from a distance because they are the tallest of the American Kennel Club breeds. Despite their looks, they’re just adorable, fun-loving dogs, as their owners demonstrate in these photos. We collected pictures from our readers and images from the internet of adorable Irish Wolfhounds in this Hot Flav collection.
