hi

how long do irish wolfhounds live as the people oppersite me have one and recon they have a short life if so why is this??????????

Theres no such thing as an "Irish Wolfhound" the Irish wolfhound died out many years ago,the real one that is,unless you beleive the theory that the Deerhound and irish wolfhound are more or less the same dog[i think its probably a fair bet myself]

 

The monstrosity your neighbours have is a mongrel created by breeding deerhound,Great Dane and various other dogs together,done by 2 Belgian blokes [i think belgian]around 140 years ago,no genuine blood involved.

 

Big dogs generally dont have long lives,and some of the ingrediants used to create this imposter are full of faults simple.

 

Go on the Irish wolfhound sites and read the pure fantasy they they talk about breeding/origins,good for a laugh.

now you come to mention it it is a nasty looking dog with severe behaviour problems

it is always locked away and never goes out when it gets out it runs off and takes ages to get it back all there dogs are the same i dont think they should have dogs as they dont look after them well. chaves realy

Its probably the owners fault if the dog has behaviuor problems,Wolfhounds [what we call wolfhounds] ussually have very good tempraments and are pretty trutworthy with people,animals as a rule.

 

When you think about it would a dog genuinly bred from wolf killers have such a steady temprament? i doubt it very much,a novelty dog nothing more.Now we have DNA testing the enthusiasts could perhaps use it and prove there was some "unknown" ingrediant in them but i doubt they will.

Hi , I had an Irish wolf hound as a child it was well behaved good on recall and lived to 8 years of age. Would of been no good for hunting though as it was such a big softie
