The Irish Wolfhound.

I can´t say that i have only one favourite dog breed. I like it all  dogs to his own way, independient  if they are of breed or not. But a long time ago i saw a documental about a breed in particular and from that moment I always wanted have one o them. This dog is the Irish Wolfhound.
This breed is from the Celtic Irland, and like his name say's, was used to wolf hunting. Currently they're still used like hunter  dogs, but is more common  to see it like accompanying dogs and protectors of the family. 
What I love about this breed is their coat that gives the appearance of a ''bearded dog''. And their big height wich can reach 80 cm or more (until their shoulder), this caracteristic makes to be a elegant and imposing dog, but at the same time  they have a sweet temperament, are very faithful, noble  and very gentle with children, in fact, in Irland is known like ''the kind giant'',  are especial for the family, so for that reasons is one of my favourite dogs, a great dog only!
