Irish Wolfhound Price Reference

Not only is the Irish Wolfhound one of the most massive dog breeds on the planet, but this dog can also trace its lineage all the way back to the middle ages in Ireland when it was the principal killer of the wolves that roamed the country. Because of the famous endurance of this dog’s tremendous and threatening look, many times its cost is the first thing that comes to mind by potential owners.

In places like Ireland and the UK, where the breeding traditions are very old, the number of good quality puppies is quite stable and the prices are more or less transparent. Pet-quality puppies are mostly priced in the range of $1,650 to $3,300 USD.
