Dogs 101- Irish Wolfhound

[AmokBR]

Wow, now I know the race of the monster that that old lady walks around where I work.

[arianagfan123]

i have wanted one for like 2 years honestly i am dying for one we already had our house checked it is perfect size for them ya you need to have your house checked first and it has to meet certain standards but I LOVE THEM THEIR SOO SWEET

[Jamesdurbinrules]

i love how big they are

[Xboxandpaintball]

I want one

[DEKIKK]

this is the all knowing dog i see in my dreams, i think he is god.

[lillyloco4]

I want one called Hagrid. That is all.

[cooldady97]

i hate this dog

[RubasJLeone]

@cooldady97 why? =)

[deadboy13100]

@cooldady97 why

[StrawberryMooses]

so sad that they live such short lives... i hope that they'd live much longer if their owners get them good healthcare D':

[threenorns3]

@StrawberryMooses they don't - the problem with all the giant breeds is that even though they are giant sized on the outside, the internal organs are not a lot bigger than that of an average sized dog. one thing that can be done to extend their lifespan is NOT to spay or neuter - coring out the endocrine system has been proven to cause serious health problems that shorten their life.

[StrawberryMooses]

@threenorns3 oh thank you. i really do hope to have one of these amazing dogs, and i'll be sure not to spay/neuter. i just want the longest happiest life for them. i'm still so excited i may be getting one soon!

[thehaloman888]

this is my favorite breed

[Pooky1991]

And i thought great danes were huge. I prefer small dogs like Rattys though. Big dogs are an amazing site though.

[sasotions]

nicholas dodman is their best vet

[myoootubechannel]

@gb6710 personally i think you should ask the ASPCA

[Hikaru22Nakemaru]

i want a little giant =/

[pnat516]

@gb6710 your mom

[gb6710]

@pnat516 So original.

[fluffysnape]

@gb6710 Depends on what breed you are.

[gb6710]

@fluffysnape I am a black guy, so my breeding makes me partial to pit bulls.

[miltonstabble]

They are just to cute, has a Irish Wolfhound puppy and has owned three

[star987lyrics]

damn im 6 foot 5 tall and when my irish wolfhound stands up on 2 legs its taller than me!

[Mspamplemousse1]

his head is as big as that kid...

[yoshiman1998]

@beard6 yeah, i suppose. Im from Scotland and niw that i think about it, yeah

[catsmungrump]

try getting that to show and tell

[yoshiman1998]

Its like the dogs in Skyrim

[beard6]

@yoshiman1998 skyrim is alot like celtic area's like scotland an so on, thats why i guess

[Danvaderable]

Dovahdog!!!

[yummiwatch]

they are gorgeous dogs and I love big dogs.

[TeadTheBag]

Are they still good hunting dogs??

[TheDigiDoom]

@TeadTheBag They are good, not as good as they used to be though. Cant take down animals in one like it used to.

[threenorns3]

@TeadTheBag no - for the last century plus, they have been bred for patience, tolerance, and a gentle demeanor. that's not to say you wouldn't find one that's still got some of the ancestral fire in him but he would require immensely expert handling.

[neec1427]

@marvelherosquad i agree

[neec1427]

@neec1427 thats me

[Igoing2befamousstuff]

Skyrim

[augsterlee]

@Igoing2befamousstuff STUMP :D

[BeastifyMeBaby]

i really need some advice; what small lap dog breed is like the best to get? we are looking at cavaliers but should we be scarred for heart diseases? it would mean a lot if any one might have small dogs and could give my some advice, thx :)

[threenorns3]

@BeastifyMeBaby your best bet is to go by the dog, not by the breed. just because a dog's a border collie doesn't mean he's going to automatically be frighteningly smart - there are lunkheaded BCs out - and just because a dog is a lab doesn't automatically make him the perfect hunting dog. if you have no experience with dogs, do NOT start with a puppy - it's not fair to the pup as he will live his life with the marks of your inexperience. go to a shelter instead.

[fatguyanthony]

the white woman talking really wants my average sized D really bad...

[phoenixrisinghigh]

You know you've done both a great and terrible thing when the dog you've created basically worked itself into near extinction. To the great breeder, Ivar Odgarson, Olaf the pink, whomever it be, thank you for giving us such an imposing, majestic and amazing hound.

[wthjrtx1]

Why do I want to see an ad for a stupid cat when I am looking at the Irish Wolfhound and other big dogs? I hate cats especially when I'm watching my favorite dogs...UgggHHH!!

[rocknroll576]

whats that dog in the beginning 

[bhrmaximo]

Meeko... :)

[warhero281]

they have these dogs in elder scrolls v skyrim they just made them smaller

[allnamesaretakenful]

That is awesome, they were so good at their job they put themselves out of work.

[elizabethgonzalezz]

this dog is the best

[MegaCrasher99]

I think this is the dog in the GINN reader named digger

[BrothersThe2]

my two irish wolfhounds mated and the litter was 14

[JMarko24]

I wish that they'd do a episode about the saarloos wolfhound 

[FIGHTFANNERD3]

walk your damn dog you lazy ass owners

[lentzie1]

can anyone tell me about their Irish Wolfhound? I'm interested in getting one but i would like to know more^^

[lentzie1]

tuely I think its all in the breeding and how your train,and life style with your dog. I dont think there is a black and white lifespan in any breed

[2muchcheese]

best dogs ever. They are taller than me!

[sisiroxu]

I thought great Danes were the tallest dog

[FIGHTFANNERD3]

@sisiroxu lol nope

[marvelherosquad]

Thumbs up if you love dogs



[TheElmoGamer]

I love this dog my dad had one when i was little and i'm thinking about getting one.

[mikebossin]

can these dogs be guard dogs

[HedvigU]

@mikebossin I don't think they are "agressive" enough to be guard dogs.

[honeyshinku]

WOW THEY ARE TALL....

[belladonna1999]

I had a dog that was half Irish wolfhound and half airedale terrier. Looked mostly like a small wolhound and she was a stray. She lived 13 years but we fed her raw beef cubes and not processed dog food. Would love to get a purebreed.

[AlienXCherie]

I've lived these guys for a looooong time... not sure I can have one because my heart will break when it dies

But I squeed really loud when I saw them in Skyrim... I know my mission

[RaTeDxGaMiiiNG]

Poor  Irish Wolfhounds:( only 6-8 years of life:(

[zowey98]

I am babysitting a Irish wolf hound right now. He is huge!!!

[Vakarian19]

I lost my boy Clifford to cancer a few months ago, miss him so damn much. He was only 4.

[Mugzy619]

Its like a giant carren terrier...

[sweet4keets]

These things look even more impressive in real life. I used to always see a man walking two of them down the street, it was unbelievable how big they were!

[MonstaInTheDark]

Getting my GSD in 3 months, and now im planning on getting this beast as well

[TheMidnightmoonfilms]

Wolf and dog mix =/ mah fav dog already bc I luv wolves

[MsSmokingCaterpillar]

My Irish Wolfhound, Connell, is the sweetest puppy in the world. Of course, he's not a "puppy" anymore....he's almost 7 years old which, by Wolfhound standards, is, like, 80. XD

[rawmark]

@MsSmokingCaterpillar Consider switching him to gentle giants dog food and feed him several times a day and hey may live a whole lot longer. You want to make sure you're feeding him in raised food and water containers, but you're probably doing that already, right?

[Bodhi89]

These dogs are all over St. Paul MN

[pennyferret77]

my dog puca or pooca looked like a shorter version of an irish wolfhound, she was a rescue miss her alot

[lillia09]

i'd be scared shitless of that dog!!

how are people not scared of that?!!

[superspartana]

I used to have one of these dogs but then it took an arrow to the knee.

[bullsquid42]

@superspartana It's getting kind of old. But i still laughed

[Tandereeno]

Is it me... Or do they always look old? Even the puppies look like they are on their last legs....

Don't get me wrong they are beatiful animals

[demonicpresence1]

i have one of these in syrim XD

[bountyhunter552]

@demonicpresence1 lol I had one but a bandit killed it infront of me :(

[MacDragard]

Cabra Castle Hotel in Ireland had an Irish Wolf Hound named Oscar. I don't know if he's still around, seeing that this was back in 2007.

[Thelaughinggoatt]

Those people calling FastRockStar a liar, you're wrong any dog can live to any life span if they're treated well, 6 is just an average. I had a mutt once, she was eighteen and a half and she was blind and partially deaf but we put her down cause she was diagnosed with stomach cancer.

[hothotheat3000]

They're older than JESUS!

[eithnejack]

@hothotheat3000 Most things that come from Ireland are older than Jesus

[ermineking88]

those puppies are so CUTE!!!!

[slugbug73]

they are sooo big!!! OMG

[hArKhAnGeL]

Nice practical joke, gift one puppy of those on xmas! =P

[ResolvingInsanity]

I am getting one <3

[Jamesdurbinrules]

I want one

[Safounox]

Awesome; future dog of mine.

[Villemo1990]

Tomorrow my mother is getting an irish wolfhound puppy :D I'm so excited!

[arkanox111]

@Villemo1990 I grew up with one. I hope you live in a place where you don't need to use a pooper scooper.

[ehopperrocks]

In my old neighborhood There was a man with a Irish wolf hound. The funny thing was he looked like his dog :D He had gray scraggly wirey hair and way tall and kinda lanky haha ;)

[Michaelangleo123]

I bet you these dogs cost soooooo much

[TheSammy15z]

The Deerhound looks like this dog

[BinsZack]

the dislikers are cats

[Owenmstj]

I thought great danes were the tallest , god there massive!

[FastRockStar25]

Wow. My Irish wolfhound lived up to 16 years old. o.o

[MyXLifesXLikeXWTH]

@FastRockStar25 Please tell me how!



[jpmetroidkiller96]

@FastRockStar25 Liar! lol

[Celestica72]

@FastRockStar25

you must take care of it very well then

[inotaishu1]

@Celestica72 Any common diseases among them, or was it just a general advise regarding upbringing? I have to ask since I cannot see the video anymore.

[ChihiroMucin]

@FastRockStar25 mine is eleven now and he surely doesnt look like dying:)

[LoveDoggsDawgs]

@FastRockStar25 You must have taken really good care of him.

[iluvyamamototakeshi]

@FastRockStar25 Oh my. You must have taken really good care of him... or is it a her?

[whyudothatman]

@FastRockStar25 that just shows u look after it and it will live longer. :)

[SideSwipez77]

@FastRockStar25 i really hope you bred him/her.

[MonicaHabeeb]

@FastRockStar25 maybe irish wolfhounds live longer if they are treated very carefully :)

[fuckthedumb]

@FastRockStar25 It must've been on life support.



[AdeptSerpent]

I've only ever had the chance to meet one of these dogs, but he sure was friendly :)

[pbrownonyouification]

[xLittleMissShi]

[SilverMyHorse]

@12drekk What?

[MaskedItalians]

Imagine this mixed with a husky or alaskan malumute.. It'd look like a GIANT wolf.

[ash2522]

[NocturnalDistortion]

i'm debating my puppy having some Irish Wolfhound in him, we were originally thinking German Shepherd, and Siberian Husky. Hes a big big for that though.. Hes just over 9 months old, and is 28" tall, 97lbs. Larger than either breed. Wolfhound would also explain is floppy ears.

[NanaTheDwarf]

These dog are awesome, I don't have one but my best friend does.

Viejo is one of the most amazing dogs ever, I wish I didn't live in an apartment lol.

[NiamhandAnnaseries]

I saw one of these and before i saw a great dane and the irish wolfound was bigger! xD

[TheCow65]

dont like how it looks

[Numguk]

Every wolfhound I met were the sweetest dogs I have ever seen, and always seemed to have a smile on its face.

[whitetiger769]

imagine having a wolfhound and a great dane as pets gezz

[bellaxedward132]

[iM4TTii3x]

[mightyGloin]

So short life for such a good dog

[mog440]

[diffy1068]

2nd tallest dog. compared to great Dane.

[memmex1]

@diffy1068 nope, its THE biggest dog. most great danes have pituitary problems making them grow large, its an inborn problem

[TheRabidWolf1]

@diffy1068 nope the irish wolfhound is deffinately the biggest breed of dogs in the world these are a few centimetres biggest than great dane on average

[McIcecreamers]

@diffy1068

On average, the wolfhound is taller and longer ;)

[Curevicc]

@McIcecreamers HA!

[McIcecreamers]

@Curevicc

Care to specify?

[Curevicc]

@McIcecreamers taller and wider? Penis joke

[bellaxedward132]

@diffy1068 nope average great danes are smaller than the Irish wolfhound. Notice i said average.

[sxystar41]

I wonder how BIG there crap is ? 0_0

[TheCharonelson]

I love these dogs. They are so gentle John Wayne...statuesque, gritty, kind, composed.

I grew up with dogs. I got cats (although I'm terribly allergic - to dogs as well; that's life) because, as a college student I knew I couldn't count on providing a home for a dog. I loved my cats.

One of my dreams was to have a Wolfhound(or a pair). But, after 17 years with my cat Luna, I knew I couldn't bear to own a Wolfhound as my first dog. The loss would come too soon. Otherwise...what a wonderful dog.

[supinski50]

@12drekk HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Ay lad you better be Irish to make that joke!!!!

[ChocolateBrainiac]

R.I.P. Murphy McEars. She lived 13 great years almost doubling her expected life span. To anyone considering a Wolfhound, they are Wonderful family dogs and very non-aggressive. Murphy's best friend was the neighbor's dachshund and she used to walk around her yard with bunny rabbits, never chased them off. World's best dog.

[TheRevolutionary465]

i want them to do a presa canario episode

[chipchapeatme]

im not  interested in the dog cause its irish

[c19ist]

@chipchapeatme screw u

[blueisawesome1292]

These dogs are the Hagrids of the dog world

[kazmark1]

@blueisawesome1292 no the neopolitan mastiff is.

[MetaLNadia]

i love that its huge but its so ugly!

[spatz1906]

imagine how much it eats

[brianb500]

amazing breed, i was at Inch Beach in County Kerry (Ireland) where I met a 15 year old Wolfhound - it had been cross bred further back and bred back into a wolfhound several times and it looks exactly like a wolfhound only slightly smaller - but alot bigger than say a german shepard or any other dog and in great health. The owner is a retired man who brings him to the beach twice a day............! THE BREED CAN BE SAVED!!!! :)

[GOLDENCHEESE34]

imagine one of these at yellowstone :|

[poopmonkey48]

@rambohunt1 your comment is a grammatical abomination

[solidfreak123]

Good god, these are huge. I want one!

[pompomer3]

I mean dog



[pompomer3]

well it is cute but i'ts really big like a Greatdane its even bigger than my dog pearl she's a german shorthairpointer she's really cuter than this dig

[deicidalmaniac]

i love these dogs. when i first saw one it was scary as hell. i was 7 or 8 years old and one of these beast dogs had broken into a chicken coop next door to my primary school. it had ripped up a few of the chickens and taken them into the school grounds, there was blood on its face and it was growling at everyone lol we were all terrified lol. Now days i know that these dogs are great, and that the dog i met as a child was just a 'bad egg'

[rctriplefresh5]

@coirpeach1 thanks bud. we adopted him at 2.5 years old on thursday. he weighs 100 and onc he gets used to his new home will prob be 110 ha. a few of us measured him and he's 28-29 inches at the withers. they are the big white fluffy dogs u are thinking, of but could have brown markings on the head.

their life expectancy is 1012..with big dogs lie these, idk why anyone would get an irish wolf that dies at 6 -_-

[lawlTMB]

so beautiful in a light coat! <3

[rctriplefresh5]

@coirpeach1 i jsut adopted a great pyr, and he sometimes bites his back feet..i hope his heart is ok LOL.

[Chuckalakala]

lol 0:23 that is soo fake or what?? =D

[gladitsnotme]

25lbs of food a week?!?! Damn dog gonna eat you out of house and home!
