Country: | Thanks for the thought - life is 'interesting' with 12 of them roaming the grounds, or laying about (they do this more than 'roam')..

Country: | Both - much more of the former but they usually nail a stray deer or two. Their instincts run pretty true.. they leave the odd cat or stray dog alone but are hell on coyotes and deer.
I almost lost a big male puppy to a medium sized Black Bear. His hip was dislocated by a swat but the other two with the puppy treed the bear in a big cedar by the stables.
I wanted to shoot the SOB but didn't want to screw with the explanations with the Fish and Game guys so I put the other two up and drove my boy to the vet to get his hip popped back in place. The bear was gone when I got back | |

Country: | not head on Soren. at least not one on one.
these hounds never cease to amaze me with regard to size and speed and strength. I can see why the Celts used them sparingly as war dogs.
the flip side is the contrast of behavior versus appearance. there has not been a recorded attack of a Wolfhound on a human in the US - at least not in the CDC database | |

| Hehe no ofcourse not, and esp. not if it's a brown bear. A small black bear maybe.

Country: | Soren I not only agree with you but, IMHO - the Brown or its derivatives are at the top of the mammal food chain of predators - absent firearms.
I won't shoot one again. and I'm not mad at Lions or Leopards or Tigers either.
Wolfhounds may be at the top of the dog class for those with instincts intact.
We don't breed for 'huge' but hunting instincts and speed (and longevity). | |

The female I am grooming in the first couple of pics was 36" and 185 pounds to give you an idea of a wolfhound 1 foot shorter and 100 pounds lighter. | |
