Jazz and her sister Gucci came from a wonderful, loving home. Unfortunately, due to a major change in their owner's life, she found she was no longer able to give them the attention they needed. We told her we would be happy to find these two girls another loving home. Their mother was pure Labradoodle, but the father was a "stranger in the night."

Jazz is a happy, playful dog who loves children and gets along with other dogs. She loved playing with her friends at the doggy day care. And she LOVES meeting new people. She'll bark hello and try to jump on you, but after that, she will settle down for petting. She will sleep in her crate, but she otherwise runs free in the home. She is housebroken and likes to go for walks. And jumps--she loves to jump, just like she has springs in her feet. A fenced-in yard is a MUST.


According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the ancestors of the Irish Wolfhound were the Cu, a massive shaggy-coated dog used for the pursuit of wolves, elk and wild boar. Irish Wolfhounds were often given as royal presents and eventually became such popular gifts that Oliver Cromwell had to stop their export from Britain. The last wolf was killed in Scotland in the early eighteenth century, and the Wolfhound disappeared from Ireland in 1766. Later it was reintroduced and breed and carefully breed in the second half of the 19th century by a British army officer, Captain George Graham. The breed was revitalized by the influx of Great Dane and Deerhound blood. Irish Wolfhounds are sweet-tempered, patient, generous, thoughtful and very intelligent. Excellent, and can be trusted with, children. Dignified and willing, they are unconditionally loyal to their owner and family. Not a guard dog by nature, but may be a deterrent simply due to his size. They tend to greet everyone as a friend, so do not count on them being a watch dog. This giant breed can be clumsy. Slow to mature, it takes two whole years before they are full grown. However, they grow rapidly and high-qualify food is essential. Let a puppy decide for itself how much exercise it wants. Forced exercise and long distance walks are too taxing for this dog's body when it is young. The Irish Wolfhound is relatively easy to train. He responds well to firm, but gentle training. This approach with plenty of understanding will go a long way because this dog quickly grasps what you intend. Make sure the young dog is given as much self-confidence as possible and that you are always consistent with it, so that it grows into an equable, confident dog. Teach it not to pull on its leash before it gets too strong. This calm dog gets along well with other dogs. This is also true with other animals if the dog has gotten to know them when it was still young. However, it might "course" a smaller dog in an open yard. They have an average life expectancy of 6-8 years.
