Presents For Irish Wolfhound Owners

While many modern texts state that the Irish Wolfhound was used for coursing deer, contemporary pre-revival accounts such as Animated Nature (1796) by Oliver Goldsmith are explicit that the original Irish Wolfhound was a very poor coursing dog. The astonishing size, speed, and intelligence of the Irish Wolfhound made them ideal animals for both boar hunting and wolf hunting, and many were exported for this purpose. During times of conflict with England, it was not uncommon for the Irish Wolfhound to be trained to take armoured knights off their horses, thus allowing an infantry man to move in and finish the kill if the Irish Wolfhound had not done so already. We have a wide selection of Presents For Irish Wolfhound Owners including Irish Wolfhound Throws, Irish Wolfhound Cushions and Irish Wolfhound Shoulder Bags.
