Softcover, 196 pages.

With eye of sloe, with ear set low,
with horse's breast, with depth of chest
With breadth of loin, and curve in groin,
And nape set far behind the head -
Such were the dogs that Fingal bred.

This description of the original Irish Wolfhound is purported to have been written by the 3rd Century Gaelic bard Ossian.
Gentle when stroked, fierce when provoked aptly describes the Wolfhound, not at all a bad thing in a giant breed. Loyal, loving, and described by their owners as 'more than just dogs - soulmates.'
This book, illustrated throughout with over 175 full-color photographs and drawings, presents sensible, easy-to-follow recommendations about selecting and caring for an Irish Wolfhound.
