1. Irish Wolfhound
The Irish Wolfhound is a very large hunting dog native to Ireland. The name comes from its purpose (hunting wolves with dogs) rather than its appearance. Originally developed from war dogs into hunting and guard dogs, Irish Wolfhounds can be quite an imposing sight due to their impressive size.
Like many large dog breeds, Irish Wolfhounds have relatively short lifespans. Published lifespan estimates vary from 6 to 10 years.
These dogs should not be given supplements when using a good quality dog food to retard their rapid growth. The dog can cost up to $2000.
