Giant Wolfhound Is In Love With Human Brothers | Cuddle Dogs

Subscribe to Cuddle Buddies: bit.ly/3J5d2Ym
As soon as Walter met his human brothers, they all became obsessed with each other. Despite his large size, this Wolfhound used to be timid and shy. But Walter is a real gentle giant for the kids. He listens to their stories, gives them licks and sits in their lap occasionally. Their love and affection helped him open up and now he’s one of the pack.

We've had 10 Wolfhounds and I can/will unequivocally say, they are the gentlest and most wonderful family/friends we've ever had. Unfortunately, they don't live nearly long enough. 6-8 years is too short of lifespan, when you get as attached to them as we do. Our children had the benefit of being raised by Wolfhounds, so they all hope to have them once they've gotten their own families. There's hardly a day goes by that I don't think of them, and sincerely wish I could have them all back.

[@laserprop]

Ooch! 6-8 years? It's my understanding that little dogs generally live longer than big dogs, but I thought that even the biggest get at least 10. I don't think it's good to keep a breed going if it only gets 6-8. JMHO. I still feel the emotional trauma of euthanizing my two cockapoos, Tighthead and Loosehead, when they were sixteen, and the poor little boys were falling apart.

[@bunnylarese2161]

Can’t u increase lifespan by making them smaller? 6 years is just cruel

[@laserprop]

I know that "suitable" lifespan is subjective, but I agree that 6 years seems too short. I don't think that dogs should be bred with a lower expected lifespan than 10 years. The Power of the Dog Rudyard Kipling There is sorrow enough in the natural way From men and women to fill our day; And when we are certain of sorrow in store, Why do we always arrange for more? Brothers and Sisters, I bid you beware Of giving your heart to a dog to tear. Buy a pup and your money will buy Love unflinching that cannot lie- Perfect passion and worship fed By a kick in the ribs or a pat on the head. Nevertheless it is hardly fair To risk your heart for a dog to tear. When the fourteen years which Nature permits Are closing in asthma, or tumour, or fits, And the vet’s unspoken prescription runs To lethal chambers or loaded guns, Then you will find-it’s your own affair- But… you’ve given your heart to a dog to tear. When the body that lived at your single will, With its whimper of welcome, is stilled (how still!). When the spirit that answered your every mood Is gone-wherever it goes-for good, You will discover how much you care, And will give your heart to a dog to tear. We’ve sorrow enough in the natural way, When it comes to burying Christian clay. Our loves are not given, but only lent, At compound interest of cent per cent. Though it is not always the case, I believe, That the longer we’ve kept ’em, the more do we grieve: For, when debts are payable, right or wrong, A short-time loan is as bad as a long- So why in-Heaven (before we are there) Should we give our hearts to a dog to tear?

[@steviet9452]

I made the switch 10 years ago from wolfhound to deerhound their longevity is far greater with my eldest boy to date being 12!

[@Richard-tq7gj]

Walter will protect your boys with every once of his body!

[@kevinheath7588]

Walter is absolutely gorgeous. What an adorable dog...and so unbelievably gentle with the children...it's fantastic ❤️

[@DaveInBridport]

Our neighbour has a wolfhound. Just beautiful. I've met a few wolfhounds and they're all the same. Big soft squashy living toys

[@eveningstar1]

It's the short lifespan of these dogs that counts them out for me.

[@drunkenirishloon6943]

This is why Irish wolfhounds are the best dog to grow up with 🐺❤

[@scottshields4477]

Every dog is the best dog to grow up with. Why? Cause they're dogs.

[@ninapearman]

Walter is devastatingly handsome, just a big hunk of love - those boys are lucky to have such a good boy to play with and Walter found the greatest family ❤.

[@mememe5196]

No need for a babysitter, you have Walter!

[@molly5262]

Omg - he’s beautiful!!💜💜

[@MsWarriordiva]

Wolfhounds are so big but really sweet dogs!!!! Can even be super shy even though so big.

[@Richard-tq7gj]

Your kids are the safest kids in the neighborhood!

[@michaelscot4816]

Bucket list dog. 💜🐕💜

[@FacheChanteDeux]

Walter is such a gentle soul, what a sweetheart.

[@brendajudd7354]

What a big boy! He's so sweet! I love the bond the boys have with Walter. He's their protector. He's like a big pillow to lay on. You did well picking him for your family growing up with the kids. He's special.

[@kerryowen-holmes3719]

Walter & the children are so happy together! It’s so good to see ❤

[@allisoncompeaux3981]

A Gentle Giant! What a great family.

[@kyra_from_kerkyra]

This is how you raise a family💖💖💖💖

[@audreyeusebio9312]

I love that his name is Walter 🥰

[@seviregis7441]

Walter is such a caring older brother. God bless that beautiful family. I have a mini Irish Wolfhound and she is the most incredible dog, absolutely perfect, never does a thing wrong, even without me ever needing to teach her. Pure love and devotion, like Walter.

[@jmginthent651]

I've had Australian Cattledogs, kelpies and German Shepherds and now I've got an Irish Wolfhound X Ridgeback. Best dog ever. Ever. Ever.

[@CuddleBuddiesChannel]

A wolfhound and ridgeback mix sounds amazing!!

[@jmginthent651]

I wish I could post a photograph. Roy is brindle coloured. Huge floppy ears. Beautiful short but thick velvet coat. He is so gentle and loyal and affectionate. Loves his family. I've only ever met one full blood Irish Wolfhound and I was stunned at how soft the coat was. Once you go big dogs you never go back ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@CuddleBuddiesChannel]

How lovely… wish we could see 🤗

[@therealisation5500]

Kids and dogs it's a special thing everyone remembers their first hairy friend

[@zionkid420]

It's sad when people with poor communication skills think a conversation is one sided because only one party is verbal. Good on that boy.

[@shadowjack8]

I wish I had a Walter in my life.

[@fredricclack7137]

had Irish 🐺/ Great Dane Mix!

[@tabithadorcas7763]

Such sweet dogs. We had two together when I was a teenager. Love em' . Love that look in their eyes, as if they are looking into a faraway place.

[@Dracotor666]

I hope you have many years with Wolter, My Sadness comes from knowing the Boys will have to Experience the loss of him at a very young age... We have had 7 Wolfhounds and they ranged from living 2 1/2, 4, 6, 6, 4, 8 and 10.... Have another one in the wings for the boys to cling too... Food for Thought, love the video!

[@jonathongellibrand3632]

Who else had a big smile from start to finish?

[@wyyrdojim]

Every boy should have a pony!😹😻

[@Tassie85]

Wow, is he beautiful or what! Inside and out. Your family is just wonderful and so joyous.

[@t.h.8475]

Well, look at those precious angels. Of course they love Walter and Walter loves them. BTW I'm sure Walter does miss them while they're gone.

[@sonesinhsomxanxay4660]

Such a special bond!

[@mr.d.572]

Great family dynamics there. Wish I had a dog growing up 🐶

[@jshshh1041]

Those one sided conversations with his dog soothe the soul, especially for a young one navigating the world around him. I did the same with my childhood dog. She was my rock when I couldn't talk to anyone else

[@user-pb3ee7pw7f]

walter is great

[@richardpcrowe]

I have a Great Pyrenees who has many of the same characteristics, She is gentle but, still family guardian.

[@CD-oq8em]

Magic.

[@Bman1878]

I _looove_ Wolfhounds. They're wonderful and gentle - almost all of the giant breeds are. I wish they lived longer though, poor things

[@chatontigrou9793]

Wolfhound are incredible dogs. I adore them, they are so clever and gentle. Kings of dogs.

[@charlespapineau5428]

Walter is awesome! He is fortunate to have such a loving home that understands his needs.

[@laserprop]

I'd claim that my two cockapoos, Tighthead and Loosehead, were attack dogs, and people would seem doubtful (it didn't help that they both looked like Ewoks, and tried to kiss everybody). So I'd command "Attack!", and they'd roll over on their backs with their legs in the air (as of course I'd trained them to do). Whereupon I'd explain, "See, I said 'Attack!', and they had an attack!"

[@DMSProduktions]

They are BOTH so lucky!

[@FirstLast-cb2jr]

I love Wolfhounds. I have two right now. Walter seems to be a gem.

[@CuddleBuddiesChannel]

❤❤ Absolutely

[@labadf]

I never thought I would see IRL versions of Calvin and Hobbes!

[@steph1275]

This is so sweet❤️Those little boys will always remember Walter and how great their childhood was having him❤️

[@tigeriussvarne177]

I was lucky to grow up with a Gentle Giant too.

[@flok.8317]

Irish wolfhounds are the best! My god, they are so magnificent!

[@davedeguire3224]

When I Was Growing Up I Had A Dog That Never Barked But I Knew He Talked 2 Me... RIP Patches!

[@kenlandon7803]

The boys will grow up happy kids, and remember Walter all of their lives.

[@gregschulte2953]

We're on our 6th and 7th Wolfhound and seeing Walter with the boys is just about right. They can be a little shy with grownups to start, but introduce children and it's love at first sight. Absolutely wonderful family dogs. They just have a lot of soul.

[@stevejordan6724]

Those might be the safest children in America. God help anyone fool enough to try and hurt those boys. You'd see a Teddy Bear turn into a Grizzly in a heartbeat.

[@Paris.Kalachnikov]

An inseparable bond here with man's most loyal friend and two little men.

[@raycope2086]

Walter is a beautiful wolfhound. " Gentle when stroked, fierce when provoked ," is a breed description, but I've never heard of one being mean in any way. When I was a teenager, I remember a little old man who used to being his wolfhound bitch with him to the shop for groceries. She was almost bigger than him, and all he did was to stick hid walking stick into the soil, ( not even deep ) drape the leash over it, and aske her to lie down, which she did, then off he'd go to get bread etc. It didn't matter how long it took him to return, she would lie patiently, and put up with anyone. young or old, big or small, who came to say hello and pat her. When the old chap died, a few months later, she died a few days later of a broken heart. She was only three or four years old, so she had five or so years left yet. So sad, because her old chap was such a lovely gentle man too, and loved Tara so much. I still think of them fifty and more years later. I wish you and your lovely family, rainbows.

[@masitaatisam3679]

As a pitbull owner for 30 + years wich are my nr one breed .. still , since their loyalty to the family is of a unknown kind of loyalty for many … the irish wolfhound always crossed my mind as a if ever dog .. I find the breed very intresting , beautifull , gentle and so on… But their lifespan result in not “ owning “ one and probably i never will / can👀 dogs eventually grow mature mentally and physically at 3 or 3,5 years .. I mean .. Then you are halfway ..😞 Amost getting a “ the best ones die to soon “ kind of a vibe 😬 Wich is a bit sad because i truly think they are one of the most intresting dogs Great video by the way , And your children are doing a superb job respecting a sweet and nice dog . Well done Family !

[@sandyhossman7771]

[@donaldwallace1525]

Walter is so gentle with his family, but if someone threatened one of the boys Walter would go ballistic on the threat.

[@josemarti7487]

After smitten all the wolves in Ireland, Irish Wolfhounds are abused by human cubs😅😅😅

[@paulc5333]

Oh no. Walter and your oldest are talking to each other but it's subliminal. I talk to my dog that way. We mind each other all the time. Your youngest does it too.

[@josemarti7487]

When you have been bred to fight packs of wolves and wild boars, you are pretty safe around human offsprings 😅😅😅

[@Alan_Mac]

Eh? They were bred by a Scot in 19th-century England. They are as Irish as tea and crumpets and have no connection with the ancient Irish wolfhound breed.

[@PaulMuzik]

We Irish made one awesome dog

[@Alan_Mac]

You may well have done but you didn't make the wolfhound. That was a Scotsman living in 19th Century England.

[@TukikoTroy]

But watch out for that tail! A happy wolfhound is a danger to ornaments and toddlers because that tail hurts! That said, wolfies also make great TV watching partners with the kids sitting between their legs and just lounging back against that huge furry chest.

[@dalelc43]

No giants here, it's not a Chihuahua it's a normal sized Irish Wolfhound. 😮😮🤔🤔
