Today we meet the puppies of the Giant Irish Wolfhound and find out everything in this guide to raising such a complex and special breed. The Irish Wolfhound was said to be the breed that killed off the last Irish Wolf in 1786. Giant breed puppies need to be raised in a different way to other dog breeds due to their bones and joints. Anneka visits Austonely Irish Wolfhounds for a second time to meet two Irish Wolfhound puppies, considered to be some of the rarest breed on earth. Find out how to raise these majestic beautiful Irish dogs who will grow into elegant old wizards.

makes me sad that there are no wolves in ireland they need to be reintroduced.
The wolfhound used for wolf hunting was a far cry from the cumbersome animals representing the breed of today.
I can only imagine the size of this breeds poops. Giga big Poops.
love big dogs
❤😊
I live in the Scottish Highlands and have on several occasions had the pleasure of meeting both wolfhounds and their cousins the Deerhound, both have been extremely amiable, and happy, I am 4ft 10ins so it is no problem to them to put their paws on my shoulders and give me a kiss. They are beautiful
I had the pleasure of meeting a Irish wolfhound mix. In the single evening I spent with him at a dinner party, he came to me for scritches and cuddles frequently and when another dog a guest had brought was aggressive and protective of its owner had snapped and growled at me, the Wolfhound immediately and calmly walked inbetween us blocking my face with his body from the attack of the other dog. I was forever then in love with the Irish Wolfhound. We had just met only a few hours ago, and he was already protecting me. I was so honored to be shown so much affection by such a beautiful giant dog.
I had one you have to feed them bone meal when there pups cos they grow evry 12 hours
Background music name …… 5.15
Dogs dont kill wolves, unless the wolf is young and the dog is huge. Doesnt happen.
They're beautiful sweet humble big dogs
I would cry to see my dog die that early.
Is there a short-haired variety??? The fur on the puppies would look great on adults. The only thing I don’t care for on Great Dane’s are the long jowls, which Irish wolfhounds don’t have and I prefer the narrower muzzles.
not a good dog to own if you love dogs , horrifically short life span , around 6 to 8 years ..
Irrelevant of the wild wolf's jaw pressure per square inch, you can easily see why, a pack of wolves would retreat….just seeing the sheer dominating size of a pack of these dogs snarling and running towards them!.
Why don't they mention the short lifespan in the video?
This is insane. Just go to a shelter where dogs are desperate for homes instead of putting all of this trouble in to make MORE dogs.
6-10 years? That's all they live.
Ah yes, the skyrim dog.
My dog's name is Banana ..
I was at the beach once and saw an Irish Wolfhound, and had the opportunity to give him hugs. He promptly walked behind a man laying on the beach and took a giant 💩 a foot from his head.
I was honored to personally develop a wonderful relationship with an Irish Wolfhound whose "Mom" was recognized locally for rescuing the giants- -primarily Great Danes. She kept a photo scrap book of each individual dog and one day it occurred to me the birthdays were mostly in the single digits, on the 3 Wolfhounds she talked about with so much love. The last time I saw Morgan she was rising 9yo, but so happy to see me, however difficult it was to stand on 4 legs. My dogs have always been small rarely over 15#, so this experience was a once in a lifetime. Aside from their enormous size is the greatness of their gentle spirits that make them so special.
So it's a mutt.
But it's an awesome huge mutt
Yesterday I said goodbye to another beautiful friend. I named the first one Arras from the fortress of Blansko, the second Gerald from Rivia. I lived more than 16 years from both. It's extremely hard to get to the end, but the before is amazing. They are great and loyal partners!!!! It only hurts so much when they leave…
I had 2 Irishwolf hounds with 4 Airedales they were great companions. But sadly, they only lived 7 fo 8 years
i've always been drawn to large dogs, and absolutely ADORE sighthounds. i love the IW and SD – but did have a borzoi for many years (sort of a permanent foster after my sister had a baby) – and have adopted retired racers for decades. i've also had the opportunity to raise a rescued show greyhound – wheeeeooooo! i would love to have an IW or SD, but for a) their short lives (the borzoi lived with me for 8 years, dying at 14) and b) the coat to deal with. The beautiful borzoi actually caused my vacuum to have a furball 8D – she was a marvellous, unique being, but i don't particularly want to deal with that coat again. i wish the breeders could add some large-dog athleticism (like the racing grey stock) to strengthen the heart and muscles of these beautiful breeds. i have a hard enough time letting go of my greys at the age of 11 or 14. To have to let go at 7 or 8 would be destroying. 8( More power to you responsible breeders, vetting your adopter carefully and crafting good lines. <3
We own 3. When the get the zoomies, watch out! Furniture goes flying, trees are demolished and if distracted and crash into you at very high speed and send you flying. That said they are friends with anyone brave enough to come pet them. All the delivery guys come and spend 5 minutes with them to get some pets in
these guys are intimidating
IW is not a good watch dog, they love everybody, good or bad people. the size is intimidating as deterrent but that's a bout it but they love and lick a burglar to death
We had an Irish wolf hound in our neighborhood when I was a kid. The owner was a tall skinny musclebound guy.
If I ever get one of these I'm naming him Barbas.
If they're anything like my Great Danes have been, their fart is worse than their bite!
I grew up with an IW and she was the most amazing dog. We were blessed to have her for 10 years, which is really remarkable for the giant breeds.
I saw my first IW at a dog show. Thirty-five years later, I got my boy when the time and circumstances were right.
Finn died at 10 1/2 years and I still long to have him back. He's been gone for over 5 years; I can't bring myself to get another.
i know there are some very respected breeders next door in ireland i am surpised you didn't make the trip next door as its not a long journey
