I met my first Irish Wolfhound in 1973 when I was at UC Santa Cruz. We had an open campus and a lady in one of my classes brought her wolfhound to class. Wonderful dog!
I'm so sorry for your loss. I know how it feels, but it must be worse than what happened to me since Liam was only 4 years old :( I had a Rottweiler up until I was 6 and he was almost 11. He died of osteosarcoma, as well. Still today, sometimes wehn I see his picture, I still cry a little. RIP Reggie + Liam. Forever In heaven, but for be loved.
My friend had a irish wolfie, and she LOVED to sing. Whether it was because she washappy, sad, or if she wanted you to wake up. We lost her two years ago at the ripe old age of 16. We were blessed longer than many other people are and we miss her everyday.
We had one when I was young. He would "talk back" when pet. He'd also sit at the dining room table on Sunday after dinner while the grownups had coffee. I mean, he actually sat in a seat and just watched.
Great dog, very friendly, very gentle. I have never since known a dog that would be so vocal, as though trying to say something to those around (without *barking*).
I saw two Irish Wolfhounds while I was in Ireland. We were at a castle, they come walking in. As a result, people thought they were wolves.... :/ I was like, "Guys, those are dogs. They're Irish Wolfhounds... -_-" Lol... Good times...
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 like a wolfhound only slightly smaller - but alot bigger than say a german shepard etc and in great health. The owner is a retired man who brings him to the beach twice a day............! THE BREED CAN BE SAVED!!!! :)
@brianb500 thank you so much for your kind response. I enjoyed watching your 'Gracie' and your Ireland pictures are outstanding ( I galloped on Inch Beach in 2008 , would have loved to have the very same wolfhound encounter !!)
@rubixstetris Mine, too. I'm more of a cat person because I grew up with cats, but where dogs are concerned, I love the gentle giants like wolfhounds and collies and golden retrievers.
I was going to get a WOlfhound, but the thought of losing a companion after such a short time was something I couldn't come to terms with. So I bought a Whippet instead. Magnificent animals the Wolfhounds.As are all the sighthounds.
This reminds me our our Shamus, a silver Irush Wolfhound. He sang for us when he wanted to go to the park. Shamus passed away 5 years ago. We had an IWH named Liam Ryan. He didn't sing but rather piked things with his nose. Thanks for sharing
My best friend breeds IWs. They sing together a couple of times per day and every time she comes home. It echos through the woods. They are awesome dogs.
Hi there, I am mum of Spencer my now over 13 year old Irish wolfhound deerhound cross. Despite his size which is not quite full, he through some miracle made it to this ripe old age which amazes the vets! He was diagnosed with bloodcancer a year and a half ago. Went through chemo and complete change of food (homecooking fit for human consumption) and through some miracle is still going strong. Sadly we lost our other one 2 years ago through bone cancer and know how heart breaking it is. Hugs x

Well, this sure set off my IW - Jack - who loves to sing. He came running downstairs to do a duet. Very sad that you lost Liam. He looks like he was a very sweet guy.
No, not always. It can be but it also is a greeting and a group/community thing. If you have ever heard a whole showground full of wolfhounds singing you know that they are just enjoying themselves. I have had hounds that sang to piano jazz and the NPR theme song. They are not the least bit distressed.
@wideviewfarm ...Maybe it’s a difference in personality…my family breeds Shar Pei and when socially excited they bark, they never howl unless stressed IE loneliness, boredom, food, exercise, music/dance (they interpret it as fighting) etc. They are animals after all; any deviation from a native environment will have ill effects, no matter how small....whats the cost of keeping a dog this large? I have been interested in several breeds (pressa, kangal, dane) Im not sure of the food cost
Lovely. I had a Wolfhound mix, but he had the heart and soul of a Wolfhound, just an amazing, big-soul animal. Your dog had all of his days filled with love, fun, and singing. :) Thank you so much for sharing.
what a grand movie, i have 3 Hounds, sadley the oldest died last week, now three, your movie reminds me of dear old Ffynbahr, i will watch it so often, thank yoi, ChrisD. New Zealnd.
What a special boy! Those memories are soo wonderful! My boys always sang to us when we walked in the door..& now Brolie has taught Abby the hound howl..it is funny to hear the difference in the howl between the two...
Are Irish Wolfhounds expensive to feed? Because, you know, they're huge! How much do they eat? I finally picked up my courage to get an Irish Wolfhounds. I'm scared because they die to quickly.
What a beautiful video. So sorry Liam is no longer with you; very sad. Our wolfhound Mr Benson will be 9on 27th Feb 2011. We are very lucky to have known him for so long and dread the day when he passes.
What a total joy to watch! Liam was so adorable!!!! You must miss him terribly. We have a Bernese Mountain Dog and they have the same gentle giant character. I think once you own a giant you are hooked for life.
@WanderingRover The larger dogs are, the shorter they live generally. It's the same for other species- I had a Sheltie that grew twice as big as it's supposed to and well, being that big wears the body down faster; it's the same for humans. People love them because they have huge personalities and are gentle and lovable, like giant teddy bears that love to work
i really enjoyed this video. It reminded me how much i loved my two wolfhounds. they made it to 5 years old, sisters, who strangely became ill with a brain swelling a the same time, and both lovely dogs died within days of each other. It seems although I have had several dogs in my life, those two, i miss so much. what a wonderful, but heart breaking breed.
@thetmacs I'm very sorry to hear that your Irish wolfhounds lived very short. I seriously think that these wonderful breed should have a longer lifespan. I hope that people would try to breed longer-living wolfhounds in the future. I want one but their lifespan is too short...
Very very sweet. I love Irish Wolfhounds and yours is a beauty with personality plus. It's lovely that you don't stifle him but let him express himself. One can tell from the tone of your voice that you have alot of affection for your dog. And the videography is great too!!!
My 15 week old IW-molly banshee was howling like her name sake spirit while listening to Liam. I'll try to get a decent video of her doing this next time. 2 funny. So yes, its safe to say she howls like a banshee. And am truly sorry to here about Liam passing. I lost my 6 year old -Toto- unexpectedly in July this year.

my mum found this video, we have had two IW, and unfortunately our lovely Finbar also died of bone cancer three months ago and we miss him greatly. the house is so empty without a big dog!!!!
I am so very, very sorry to hear of Liam's passing. We have lost 2 at 6 & one at 8. We currently have 2 rescue hounds, one, Izzy we have had for just 6 months. She is still suffering from her poor start in life but at aged almost 2, she's getting there & I love playing her this recording. The first singing wolfie we have had & she really loves it.
Thank you for sharing. I know that you must miss him terribly.
I'm so sorry you lost Liam - he will always be in your heart and this vid will always bring back some great times. He was quite the crooner! :) Can't wait to see McMurphy and Ferdia in video! I love pretty much all hounds...grew up w/Bassets myself.
I just love this video. I am so sorry to hear that Liam is no longer with you. The awful thing with Wolfies, their life span! I have played this over & over & one of our hounds, Dylan, Ignores it, Izzy however sings along. Both rescue hounds, so good luck with your's. Izzy didn't have a good start in life, but, in the 6 months that we have had her, she's getting better every day. Still not sure of strangers, bu tshe is getting there. Lost 2 wolfies with cancer as well.
Me and my daughers love watching your video. It was part of the reason we decided to get one. Now 4 months old, I understand why everyone says there is no greater dog love, than owning an Irish Wolfhound. Thanks
I want one so bad. My old collie Clancy used to do this my dad would get her and her sister to do this. i miss her so much but there is a new collie baby at home.
thank you for your comment ....unfortunately Liam ( only 4 yrs old)passed away a few weeks ago from bone cancer........fortunately I also have an adopted 5 yr old IW named McMurphy and will be receiving Liam's littermate Ferdia, who needed rehoming due to his owner's illness. Liam's joy remains in every cell in my body, but there is also a very big hole in my heart ,as he will always be my angel dog
@topangacowgirl I lost my big baby Cormac on Sept 14, 2010. I was blessed to have him. He died one month short of his 9th birthday, but even that wasn't long enough to have in my life. I am so sorry for your great loss and I know the what you are feeling.. There is so much pain in our heart when we lose these special creatures.
@Lidnart thanks for the comment , my sweet boy is battling bone cancer , but doesn't miss a run and swim at the park even with 3 legs now. I hope to have him live out the summer pain free with joy in every day
my thoughts are with you, as my sweet boy was diagnosed with bone cancer last week. He will be 4 years old on Apr 1st .
He is also the love of my life and I will do anything to keep him pain free. Liam and I send out a hug to you ......these wolfhounds are nothing but pure love and joy. thanks for enjoying the video, it is here he will live on forever
You know my also love singing and driving. She was little bit smaller but exactly same look as your Liam her name was Lucky. She was suffering quite short time, we didn't know until she wasn't able to walk. At first we think that something gone wrong with her ankle.. but she was the one who warn us that time is come.
You are so right... these dogs are nothing but pure love and joy.
Holly, Liam has sarcoma and he's not even four years old? I'm so sad for you both. My Tara had the same and died at almost age 11, but Liam is young, lively and talented. There's something you can get on-line that helps CA cells to die-Fucoidan. I'm drinking it in an extract, among other extracts called Exfuse and have ordered fucoidan caps, too on line. Maybe it would help. You're in my thoughts and prayers.
good god!! Amd here I thought Toto was the biggest whiner. The boy beast will bawl at the drop of a pin. Liam takes it ome step further. Two bad toto and liam arn't opposites of each other.
Wolfie was a howler, but our current one is more of a whiner. Yours is a mix of both. Your best friend is very cool. How did you teach him to do stairs?!
Wow...what a handsome voice Liam has. He is quite a talker . Love the car ride and all the talking. Give Liam a lot of hugs and kisses from our group. Thanks for sharing. Teresa
God I want one of these so badly XO They just look so old and smart!

I am so very, very sorry to hear of Liam's passing. We have lost 2 at 6 & one at 8. We currently have 2 rescue hounds, one, Izzy we have had for just 6 months. She is still suffering from her poor start in life but at aged almost 2, she's getting there & I love playing her this recording. The first singing wolfie we have had & she really loves it.
Thank you for sharing. I know that you must miss him terribly.

I'm so sorry you lost Liam - he will always be in your heart and this vid will always bring back some great times. He was quite the crooner! :) Can't wait to see McMurphy and Ferdia in video! I love pretty much all hounds...grew up w/Bassets myself.

I just love this video. I am so sorry to hear that Liam is no longer with you. The awful thing with Wolfies, their life span! I have played this over & over & one of our hounds, Dylan, Ignores it, Izzy however sings along. Both rescue hounds, so good luck with your's. Izzy didn't have a good start in life, but, in the 6 months that we have had her, she's getting better every day. Still not sure of strangers, bu tshe is getting there. Lost 2 wolfies with cancer as well.

Me and my daughers love watching your video. It was part of the reason we decided to get one. Now 4 months old, I understand why everyone says there is no greater dog love, than owning an Irish Wolfhound. Thanks

thank you for your comment ....unfortunately Liam ( only 4 yrs old)passed away a few weeks ago from bone cancer........fortunately I also have an adopted 5 yr old IW named McMurphy and will be receiving Liam's littermate Ferdia, who needed rehoming due to his owner's illness. Liam's joy remains in every cell in my body, but there is also a very big hole in my heart ,as he will always be my angel dog

@topangacowgirl I lost my big baby Cormac on Sept 14, 2010. I was blessed to have him. He died one month short of his 9th birthday, but even that wasn't long enough to have in my life. I am so sorry for your great loss and I know the what you are feeling.. There is so much pain in our heart when we lose these special creatures.

He is also the love of my life and I will do anything to keep him pain free. Liam and I send out a hug to you ......these wolfhounds are nothing but pure love and joy. thanks for enjoying the video, it is here he will live on forever

Liam the Aries.. :)
You know my also love singing and driving. She was little bit smaller but exactly same look as your Liam her name was Lucky. She was suffering quite short time, we didn't know until she wasn't able to walk. At first we think that something gone wrong with her ankle.. but she was the one who warn us that time is come.
You are so right... these dogs are nothing but pure love and joy.
Thanks for hugs.. i send one to you and Liam too.

Holly, Liam has sarcoma and he's not even four years old? I'm so sad for you both. My Tara had the same and died at almost age 11, but Liam is young, lively and talented. There's something you can get on-line that helps CA cells to die-Fucoidan. I'm drinking it in an extract, among other extracts called Exfuse and have ordered fucoidan caps, too on line. Maybe it would help. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

This video is awesome! Our first W
Wolfie was a howler, but our current one is more of a whiner. Yours is a mix of both. Your best friend is very cool. How did you teach him to do stairs?!

nice boy! :)
we had a girl, a huge one. her name is(was) Moira... she left us in this august. she was 10 years old.
she had cancer and she had it on so majestically as she lived.
unfortunately we haven t got any videos of her. only lots of photos. my husband calls her "little mouse" :)
we loved her a lot, she was a real mate, i don t think they are only a dogs :)
we will never forget her.
the same movements like yours. in the snow :)
yours is also nice!, and lovely singer :)
