About the Irish Wolfhound:
Irish Wolfhound information, advice,
answers and dogs facts

This breed does not need an excessive amount of exercise but must have enough room to run and play. Although generally quiet indoors, it would not be fair to keep this dog in an apartment. Obedience training is a must for a dog of this size. The coat should not be clipped and should be brushed daily.

The Irish Wolfhound is known for its peaceful and gentle nature. They are extremely good with kids, but care should be taken that they don't accidentally topple small children. They should not be expected to be watch or guard dogs as they are friendly with everyone and don't bark much. They also should not ever be purchased as "outdoor" dogs. This breed is sensitive and loves people and would certainly suffer being relegated to a yard.
