if you have an irishwolfhound and love the breed. then tell me what you think of this, wikkipedia says that the wolfhound not thought of as the tallest dog breed so much anymore, that the great dane is earning that tittle now. the tallest dane on record is over 40 inches tall. what bothers me ( and maybe its just me, and thats o.k) is the Irish wolfhound is known for being the tallest of all dog breeds, its his bragging rights! its what I love about them. I like great danes too but love the wolfhound because of their height and majesty. so should it bother me? I asked this of other breeders of I.W but they did not respond they wanted me to ask my own breeder but that was not my point, my point was to get the opinion of other breeders not just my own. and it caused a little bit of friction when my dogs breeder found out I contacted them not her. but I want another opinon some told me on yahoo that my wolfie was short. and that is what prompted me to look them up on wikkipedia.
Indi, and shopylak, even the two of you can’t agree on the standard? which is it, 105 lbs or 150lbs. I’m begging to wonder if there really is a standard. and am I the only one who love these dogs because they are so tall. I like the harlequinn dane because of its color and I had fostered one as a child but I love wolfhounds because they are so tall, whats wrong with that?
no marr17, I don’t think its stupid at all to love or like a particular breed because its tall or small? its one of the things we consider when getting a dog. I happen to like toy breeds as well as the giant breeds and I know other people do as well.
thankyou I.w.people, I have also wanted to thank you for another question you answered for me regarding dog food, I took your advice and got the food you suggested, I’m now waiting to see if it will work.
