Males have the potential to reach almost three feet tall and 180 pounds, with females not far behind. This makes them huge for a sighthound. Their size and shape—which is characteristic of a Greyhound—is commandeering. This can sometimes make them seem intimidating, particularly combined with the rough, wiry coat.

The Irish Wolfhound has a wiry coat that requires weekly grooming. They do have a tendency to shed, but not quite as bad as other breeds. Baths are also important. All dogs require regular dental care, including at-home teeth brushing and professional dental cleanings, and Irish Wolfhound is no exception.
