There are many breeds of dogs in the world, some people like small dogs, some people like giant dogs, and today I want to introduce a kind of dog that looks a bit "scary" because of its huge size Dog - irish wolfhound. It originated in Ireland, and because of its huge size, it was once considered the real giant dog in the world.

The ratio of their length to height is coordinated, but because their height and weight can be comparable to an ordinary person, it is really easy to feel scary when they look at them.

Nowadays, although the name of the Irish wolfhound has the meaning of catching wolves, but they no longer do such things. It's just that Brilliance has made this breed more deterrent. Now the Irish wolfhound has long been regarded as the national dog of Ireland, and the figure of the Irish wolfhound can often be seen in legends, stories, and literary works. Not only that , when Ireland holds major ceremonies, Irish wolfhounds are always allowed to participate in the opening ceremony, and sometimes Irish wolfhounds are also allowed to cut the ribbon~
