Malt 379 Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 sorry if its already bin mentioned earlier but what were the wolfhounds bred for ?? surely they could take one ?? or are they called wolfhound due to appearence or something else The breed of wolfhound that existed years ago, and was used for wolves is extinct. It was also used in battle, if I remember rightly. The breed that we see today, is a result of breeders trying to bring the breed back using other breeds that had a lot of wolfhound blood in their breeding. I believe the main source of blood was from the Deerhound?? I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong! Quote Link to post

dogbone 0 Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 (edited) I dont know if for food or not but they have slaughtered entire packs of bear dogs. Anybody that talks about dogs takin them is smokin the good shit. It takes about a 70 pound dog to take a coyote single handed and most the time two of them, a good coyote anyhow. What would it take two 200 plus pound dogs to take one of these wolves. What dog has the speed, stamina, courage to do such a thing. None! Them wolves would have a dog mortally wounded in seconds and then could just turn on whatever is left and do the same. how about some dogo's or dogo's x pitt. got a videao off the dogo'sxpitts doing boar's.......put thats big quarry you've got there was'nt dogo's built for killing and running down puma's? there big chested and powerfull dogs?

I also read that they used Borzoi & mastiff blood, as well as the deerhound & Great Dane. It's a job to know what to believe! Either way, I still think the modern wolfhound is a shadow of the breed of years ago. Quote Link to post
Dan Edwards 1,134 Posted April 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 There never really was a wolfhound though that was bred for our bigger wolves. I cant remember what its called but its something like bergman theory or some shit like that. It talks about how the farther north you get, the bigger shit gets. In this part of the world and in russia anyhow. The biggest wolf ever killed was something like 38 inches at the shoulder and 189 pounds and was killed in the Ukraine. Biggest one taken here was in Alaska and it was 175. Alot of the shit that you read about them only being or 90 pounds and the biggest ones around 120 is a bunch of bullshit and our government knows it. They put them here a few years ago and to lessen the shock or at least they think it will lessen the shock, they tell how they aint that big. The original ones in this country were not that big but the ones that got planted here are huge now. They were captured way up north and released here. Nobody has ever hunted this particular wolf really with dogs and it aint gonna happen any time soon unless some crazy half breed I know tries it. Quote Link to post
