Publisher Description
Illustrated with a selection of historical photos and engravings, and modern pictures.
A short, well-written, detailed, and referenced history of the origins of today’s Irish Wolfhound. This book details the breeding activities of the nineteenth century during which two men, in particular, strove to re-create what was, by the beginning of the 1800s, regarded as an extinct breed. It provides an excellent introduction to the modern history of this “ancient” breed originally developed at a time when Ireland was home to a population of wild wolves.
Author, Amy Fernandez, is a multi-award-winning dog writer, author, and journalist.
