Are Irish Wolfhounds good guard dogs?

No, Irish Wolfhounds are not good guard dogs in the traditional sense. Although they are large and imposing in size, Irish Wolfhounds are often described as dignified and noble rather than fierce or territorial. They are more likely to greet strangers with curiosity or indifference rather than aggression. However, Irish Wolfhounds’ presence alone might act as a deterrent due to their size. They can alert their people to unusual sounds or activities with their deep bark, but they are not typically used for guarding or protection work.
