The Irish Wolfhound (Irish: Cú Faoil) is a breed of domestic dog (canis lupus familiaris), specifically a sighthound. The name originates from its purpose (wolf hunting) rather than from its appearance. Irish Wolfhounds are the tallest dog breed, even though some individual Great Danes have recently been acclaimed "tallest dog." Irish Wolfhounds are also heavier than Great Danes, though not as heavy as some Mastiffs. |
