People Are Posting Hilarious Photos Of Their Irish Wolfhounds, And It’s Crazy How Large They Are
Irish Wolfhounds have a majestic heritage that is believed to date back to 391 AD. Named for their mix, Wolfhounds were used by the Gaels as hunting dogs, who called them Cú Faol (wolfhound). While they might sound like the stuff of legends - they are now known as sweet, affectionate, and sometimes silly dogs. According to the official World Canine Federation standards, the desired height of this large dog breed is 32 inches (81cm) to 34 inches (86cm).
The tallest of all the American Kennel Club breeds, these big dogs might look intimidating from afar. But as their owners can prove in these photos, they are just loveable goofballs. Scroll down below to check out this Bored Panda list of hilariously adorable Irish Wolfhounds we have collected from our readers that sent us the pics of their large dogs as well as some pics found on the internet. Don't forget to upvote your favorite of these adorable dogs, and if you want even more, check out our previous post on Irish Wolfhounds as well!

For Perspective I Am 6’ Tall Tall
One of the questions people routinely ask when they meet Django is “How tall is he when he is standing on his hind legs “ or “ Can I take a photo of him with his paws on your shoulders?” Answer “I have never tried to measure him and I have never let him put his paws on my shoulders.” From an early age I discouraged him from wanting to put his paws on my shoulders!! He is so heavy and strong it would be painful. Plus he could easily knock me or any else down if he got too excited. This is as close as it gets doing his Pony trick for a treat For perspective I am 6’ tall.

Smart owner. I would have to train any large dog this way, unfortunately. Pain issues. I wish I could enjoy doggy hugs the way I did when I was young

A lot of people don't think about how they'd manage a massive dog if it becomes sick or gets injured.

How do the pups parents get to eat? They just walk right up to the tables and counters! Training? Lock them in another room? I would love to have one except I am only 5', 120 lbs and fragile bones. They don't look like they have a mean bone in their bodies, but they could accidentally hurt someone I would think. Such cool dogs!
