    The Irish Wolfhound is an ancient breed of the greyhound family. He was used to hunt wolves and elk and to accompany Irish nobles to war. 

The instincts originally developed for the chase are still very much a part of the modern hounds. They need lots of food to grow, lots of space to stretch their legs at will and, above all, lots of love and human companionship to develop the loving temperament that is greater than their size and that has always been their heritage.
