The tallest of all breeds, Irish wolfhounds may intimidate with their size, and started out as hunting dogs. But the stately sighthounds’ commonly calm demeanor makes them excellent companion dogs, too. Irish wolfhounds are believed to date back at least to ancient Rome—a letter dated 391 AD from a Roman consul thanked his brother for the gift of “Irish dogs.” This dog also stars in the folktale “Gelert,” which is about a valiant Irish hound gifted to the Prince of Wales in 1210 who protects his infant son from a wolf.
