Wolf hunting with dogs is a method of wolf hunting which relies on the use of hunting dogs. While any dog, especially a hound used for hunting wolves may be loosely termed a "wolfhound," several dog breeds have been specifically bred for the purpose, some of which, such as the Irish Wolfhound, have the word in their breed name.
In Ireland, Irish wolfhounds were bred as far back as 3 BC. After the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland, Oliver Cromwell imposed a ban on the exportation of Irish wolfhounds in order to tackle wolves.
The Irish Wolfhound (Irish: Cú Faoil, Irish pronunciation: [ˈkuː ˈfˠiːlʲ]) is a breed of domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris), specifically a very large sighthound from Ireland. The name originates from its purpose—wolf hunting with dogs—rather than from its appearance. Originally developed from war hounds to one used for hunting and guarding, Irish Wolfhounds can be an imposing sight due to their formidable size. They are the tallest of all dog breeds.
The breed is very old; there are suggestions it may have been brought to Ireland as early as 7000 BC. These dogs are mentioned, as cú (variously translated as hound, Irish hound, war dog, wolf dog, etc.) in Irish laws and in Irish literature which dates from the 5th century or, in the case of the Sagas, from the old Irish period - AD 600-900. The word "Cu" often became an added respected prefix on the names of warriors as well as kings denoting that they were worthy of the respect and loyalty of a Cu.

he Irish Wolfhound is a breed of domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris), specifically a sighthound. The name originates from its purpose (wolf hunting with dogs) rather than from its appearance. Irish Wolfhounds are the tallest of dog breeds. The Great Plains wolf (Canis lupus nubilus), also known as the Buffalo wolf, is the most common subspecies of the gray wolf in the continental United States. It currently inhabits the western Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada.
The Irish Wolfhound is best known for bringing down wolves in its homeland several centuries ago. The breed was so successful at the task, wolves are now extinct in Ireland. The same almost happened to the breed after its services were no longer needed.

the love of owning a singing Irish Wolfhound
Tienes unos ojos que me invitan a probarte,
piel de duraznillo corazón de chocolate,
alma de manzana que me invita al paraíso
y un par de melones por que Dios así lo quiso
Por qué te fuiste ,
cuándo es que volverás;
qué cosa me diste,
que no te he podido olvidar;
no, no, no.
Eres un tesoro escondido entre mi cama
lluvia por la noche solecito en la mañana.
Agüita de coco, sirena en la playa.
Mi sal mi pimienta, mi niña mimada.
Por qué te fuiste,
cuándo es que volverás;
qué cosa me diste,
que no te he podido olvidar;
no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Llévame, llévame a la luna, pa'rriba.
Llévame, como tu ninguna.
(sabor a chocolate)
Me gusta vivir, me gusta soñar,
que puedo pedir si he nacido pa’ gozar.
Tu boca es mi vicio, tu amor mi aeropuerto
y mi pasaporte pa’ subir al cielo.
Por qué te fuiste,
cuándo es que volverás;
qué cosa me diste,
que no te he podido olvidar:
bla, bla, bla, bla, bla, ye.
Llévame, llévame a la luna, pa'rriba.
Llévame, como tu ninguna.
Llévame (anda), llévame a la luna.
Llévame, como tu ninguna
(sabor a chocolate).
