Facts about the breed

The Irish Wolfhound was first mentioned in a letter from 39 AD in England. It is a beautiful dog of impressive size, which has been used frequently for hunting wild boar and deer – especially in the British Isles. The Irish Wolfhound is an intelligent and independent dog, which thrives in company and wants to spend a lot of time with its family. You should therefore not leave it alone for more than six hours – then it will start to miss you too much.

Farming and trade

If you want to get an Irish Wolfhound, it is important that you deal with a serious breeder. At the breed club, Irish Wolfhound Club in Norway , you can find a lot of relevant information. You should expect to pay between 18,000 and 22,000 kroner for an Irish Wolfhound.

It is important that you choose a seller who gives you detailed information about how the dog was bred. Unfortunately, not everyone breeds in a responsible and correct way, which can lead to serious diseases in the puppies. You should always make sure that the process has been within the regulations, so that you do not contribute to uncontrolled or illegal dog trade. Therefore, it is wise to set aside some time for preparation in advance, and spend time finding a reliable breeder.
