Might potentially *solve* the homeless problem also.
Bloody great idea. I would love to have these good boy’os walking about. Good doggies
No. We don’t have enough woodland.
Well if you could find any true ones left to reintroduce whack away
Do we have a sika deer problem?
Isn’t it more like the deer have a human problem?
Outside mythology, they aren’t wild.
They’re not wild though, how would you make them wild? Just turn a few domesticated ones loose and see what happen?
Irish wolfhounds went extinct, except one breeder decided if he mixed together a bunch of different breeds to “bring them back”
I think OP is mixing them up for wolves.
Where does it end we would have to introduce wolves to hunt the dogs then bears to hunt the wolves then Russians to hunt the bears then Ukrainans to hunt the Russians. Also more forests and wild areas are all we have is bare farmland only good for cattle
I’d reintroduce Henry sellers back into the wild
Now yer talking
Thats a great idea ya. Having packs of 7 foot tall feral dogs running around the countryside is a way better idea.
Sadly their not even the native Irish wolfhound it’s long gone apparently and this is a mix breed of sorts with great dane and other breeds, pretty shite to be honest since they look badass! Think the true Irish wolfhound was more slimmer body and not shaggy kinda like a big greyhound! They guy that made the modern breed we see today was from Gloucestershire, captain George Augustus Graham sadly in 1800s
According to the Romans the originals were as big as lions.
And have one snatch up Miggledy from the park ?
Introducing Domesticated animals, that you expect to hunt deer?
Is this a yank that made this post or what
Putting a domesticated animal into the wild, doesn’t make it wild. There are no wild Irish wolfhounds left and making them would take considerable effort over several generations
They originated in Finglas in the 1700s
Hunters, guns, bbq. Sorted
What do you mean “introduce” them? Like, as if it’s a playdate???
I think throwing a pack of a domesticated animal might cause more problems than it’d solve
Yea that should be no problem as after that we have sourced a type of gorilla that thrives on dog meat. The beautiful thing is in winter the gorillas simply freeze to death.
It can solve the underage-kids-drinking-and-taking-drugs-in-the-forest problem too
Modern Irish wolfhounds are a complete modern reinvention through breeding. That’s why they have such bad health.
I’d imagine it would take them many generations to become wild again.
They used to be ferocious war hounds… but that’s just it, *used to be*. They’re fairly docile dogs now.
I’m currently over stocked on massive dogs but I will be def be getting one of them in a few years, he’s beautiful. It’s such a shame that the original wolfhounds were allowed to go extinct
Modern Irish Wolfhounds are far too gentle and would be scared of the Deer.
The original breed, probably would kill everyone.
Are we allowed hunt them for venison?
In my experience they’d just wander about for a short time then have a sleep.
Feral dogs in the countryside haha. They’ll kill half a farmers flock of sheep for fun and they’ll be shot or poisoned out of existence after a week.
Actual Irish wolf hounds are extinct. Brits killed them off hundred of years ago.
The modern one we see today was bred about 40/50 years ago as an attempt to recreate the aesthetic. In reality it’s a much smaller and more timid mongrel dog.
Irish wolfhounds have a genetic predisposition to many life threatening and quality of life reducing conditions like hip and elbow dysplasia, cardiomyopathy, osteosarcoma, liver shunt, autoimmune thyroiditis, von Willebrand’s disease, progressive retinal atrophy and gastric torsion. They shouldn’t be bread pure, it’s neglectful cruelty, unfortunately.
There is no wild Irish wolfhounds
Yeah, giant dogs that hunt in packs, running wild through the countryside is the answer.
What beautiful monsters!
No, but reintroducing wolves might.
You understand that they are dogs not wolves right?
It might also solve the hiker problem
Interestingly enough, rifles don’t breed if left to their own devices.
