The ancient origins of the Irish Volkoffs prove written sources. The first such reference was a recording made by the Roman Consul on 391 years. In Ireland, however, this was a well-established breed in the first century.

Continent kelts belonged to dogs, whose ancestry was probably bored, painted in Egyptian drawings. The Irish kels also divorced large dogs that were both smooth and tough.

The great Irish wolves were considered, from the middle centuries to the sixteenth century, a valuable gift from the royal palace of Europe. They were sent to many countries: England, Denmark, Spain, India, Persia, Poland, France, Sweden. In the fifteenth century, every county was supposed to have 24 wolves protecting farms against predatory attacks.

The number of these dogs was also protected by the Cromwell decree of 1652 prohibiting the export of Volkoffs. But demand for them in other countries has grown and wolves have gradually exterminated, leading to the almost complete disappearance of these dogs at the end of the sixteenth century.

The interest in the species rekindled by the end of the nineteenth century, during the growth of Irish nationalism. Volkodow was given the role of the living symbol of Irish culture, its celtic origins. Captain Graham, after looking for some of the real beasts in the country, got a way of crossing with a dirhaund, dog and a Russian beard like dogs with all the signs of a modern Irish wolf. This pond is as popular as the medieval, and is often found outside Ireland.

Conduct dogs The Irish wolf, which is neither punitive nor official or combatant, may be characterized by a saying: " Doma is lamb and lions are in the skirmish. " For centuries, they've put loyalty on people - aggressive dogs have simply been excluded from the breeding. The Irish wolf was used to hunt a big beast: wolf, kabaan, reindeer. To maintain the working skills of modern Volkoffs, there is a run for a mechanical borrower.
