Irish Wolfhounds have a majestic heritage that is believed to date back to 391 AD. Named for their mix, Wolfhounds were used by the Gaels as hunting dogs, who called them Cú Faol (wolfhound). While they might sound like the stuff of legends - they are now known as sweet, affectionate, and sometimes silly dogs. According to the official World Canine Federation standards, the desired height of this large dog breed is 32 inches (81cm) to 34 inches (86cm).

Some of the oldest dog breeds in the world come from Egypt. Ancient Egypt is considered the cradle of civilization, and some historians believe it was the Egyptians that initially domesticated dogs. Egyptian dog breeds are lean, muscular, and adapted for warm climates. These dogs are not well-suited for cold climates because they don’t have thick coats to protect them. If you love the Egyptian culture, you will love these Egyptian dog breeds. #dogbreeds #EgyptianDogBreeds Egyptian Dog God, Egyptian Dog, Ancient Dogs, Ancient Dog Breeds, Egypt Ancient, Hairless Dog, Cradle Of Civilization, Animal Anatomy, Ancient Animals
