The Irish Wolfhound is a historic sighthound dog breed from Ireland that has, by its presence and substantial size, inspired literature, poetry and mythology. Like all sighthounds, it was used to pursue game by speed; it was also famed as a guardian dog, specializing in protection against and for the hunting of wolves. Bottom line is, if you love your Irish Wolfhound this is a perfect addition to your home! If you want a different size or background color, reach out and let me know! I want to take a moment to thank you for looking at this item. My shop mainly produces laser engraved pieces. I engrave on everything from slate and granite, to birch and so many other types of materials, it is hard to keep track. I ended up laser engraving because according to Covid, I was non-essential. I am not one to sit and watch grass grow, so I decided to find something that I would love doing, and would pay the bills. Here I am.... I am a one man shop. From the second your order comes in, to the second the shipping company takes it away, I have been the ONLY one touching your product. In the future, I hope to grow enough to take on a few dedicated employees who are as passionate about delivering a high-quality product as I am. I want to ship a product and be CERTAIN that your expectations will be exceeded. I do tons of custom work. My specialty is putting pictures onto wood. I do this either in full color through sublimation, or by laser engraving on the material of your choice. Please do not hesitate to message me with any question you may have. It would be my pleasure to add you to my list of happy customers! Thanks, Hank
