collars bearing your dog's name.
The The Irish Wolfhound is a breed of
dog (a sighthound), bred to hunt. The name originates from its purpose rather
than from its appearance: To hunt wolves. These dogs are the tallest breed of
dog in the world.
The breed
is very old, possibly from the 1st century BC or earlier, bred as war dogs by
the ancient Celts, who called them Cú Faoil. The Irish continued to breed
them for this purpose, as well as to guard their homes and protect their stock.
Regular references of Irish Wolfhounds being used in dog fights
are found in many historical sagas. During times of conflict with England, it
was not uncommon for Wolfhounds to be trained to take armored
knights off of their horses, thus allowing an infantry man to move in and finish
the kill if the Wolfhound has not done so already.
