Living with an Irish Wolfhound Puppy

Irish Wolfhounds are adaptable and can thrive in various living situations, but their size and needs should be considered:

• Space: While they can adapt to apartment living, Irish Wolfhounds do best in homes with ample space, such as a house with a large, securely fenced yard.

• Indoor Living: They are indoor dogs and should not be left outside for extended periods. They thrive on being close to their families.

• Companionship: Irish Wolfhounds are social dogs and do not do well when left alone for long periods. They prefer to be with their families and can suffer from separation anxiety.
