When Irish eyes are smiling, you can be sure they belong to an Irish Wolfhound. He has a noble and commanding appearance, but beneath his shaggy eyebrows twinkle eyes with a sweet, gentle expression. This ancient breed originated in Ireland, where he served as both a war dog and hunting dog. He came close to extinction in the 19th century after the great prey animals - wolves, deer, and wild boars - had largely disappeared in Ireland, but the breed was revived and today is a wonderful companion who draws the admiration of many.
