The Irish Wolfhound is an Irish breed of large sighthound, among the largest of all breeds of dog. It was developed in the late 19th century by G.A. Graham, whose aim was to recreate the old wolfhounds of Ireland, which were believed to be extinct. These had, by their presence and substantial size, inspired literature, poetry and mythology, and were used as guardian dogs and for hunting wolves.The modern breed classified by recent genetic research into the Sighthound United Kingdom Rural Clade (Fig. S2), is used by coursing hunters who have prized it for its ability to dispatch game caught by other, swifter sighthounds.
In 1902, the Irish Wolfhound was declared the regimental mascot of the Irish Guards.
