The tallest dog in the world, the Irish Wolfhound is the true “gentle giant” of the dog community, clad in its characteristic rough coat and standing no less than 31 inches at the shoulder. The breed’s devotion to its family, coupled with its bravery and courage, are the stuff of legends. The Irish Wolfhound is among the friendliest of all dogs, though he requires a special owner who is able to give him the training, care and accommodations he needs to thrive. As a companion for an active family with children, a more reliable and kinder dog could not be found. In the show ring, the Irish Wolfhound possesses a commanding presence owing to his regal bearing, his size and symmetry. One of the wonders of the canine world, the Wolfhound cannot fail to fascinate every dog lover he meets. This Special Limited Edition provides a look at the Wolfhound’s fascinating origins in Ireland and beyond, plus an excellent concise history of the breed’s development in the United States written by breed expert Gretchen Bernardi. Comprehensive in every way, this guide includes chapters on the Wolfhound’s characteristics, breed standard, puppy selection and care, everyday maintenance, including feeding, grooming, conditioning and exercise, house-training and obedience lessons. Dr. Lowell Ackerman, well-known Harvard lecturer and veterinarian, has provided an excellent, up-to-date chapter on preventive healthcare that advises owners on selecting a qualified veterinarian, controlling parasites, vaccinations and infectious diseases and more.
