10+ Hilarious And Crazy Photos Of Irish Wolfhounds That Show You How Large They Are

The Irish Wolfhound is a historic sighthound dog breed from Ireland that inspired literature, poetry, and mythology. This breed was originally used in war to drag men off horses and chariots. These big dogs might sound like the stuff of legends, but they are now known as sweet, affectionate, and sometimes silly companions in our family.

According to official World Canine Federation standards, the height of these dogs varied from 32 to 34 inches (81–86 cm) in males and probably from 29 to 31 inches (73–79 cm) in females. They got their name not for their appearance; they are named for their mix and their purpose—wolf hunting with dogs. Although the Irish Wolfhound can be a frightening sight for those who aren’t familiar with them, nobody can deny the fact that these creatures are incredibly delightful, beautiful, and big.

For this reason, we have collected a list of the funniest and craziest photos of Irish wolfhounds to share with you. This enthusiastically large breed of dogs might look intimidating from afar, but these photos can prove that they are just cute goofballs. Besides, their all-around friendliness will steal anyone’s heart.
