Yes, Irish Wolfhounds do shed. (I have a Scottish Wolfhound, and my parents are pursuing an Irish Wolfhound).

There is no current World's Largest Dog listed in the Guinness Book of Records. However, back in 1989 Zorba, an English Mastiff, tipped the scales at 343lbs and made it into the Guinness Book of Records. The English Mastiff is the largest breed of dog and the Irish Wolfhound the longest. In 2001, Joe Flynn's English Mastiff, Hercules, made the record book for heaviest dog at 282lbs. Gibson is the current longest dog at 8 feet and 3 inches.
Finding a non-lifesize IW would be a more interesting task ;-) Seriously? Contact your local breed club to get referrals. Provided you live in the US, you will find a list of regional Irish Wolfhound Clubs at http://www.iwclubofamerica.org/clubs.htm . If you are in Europe, a list of national IW clubs is at http://www.irish-wolfhound-club.ch/Links.html

After the efforts of Captain George Graham, who had the last remaining true Irish Wolfhounds, they were restored by the introduction of Deerhounds, Great Danes, and Borzois. This is the origin of the modern Irish Wolfhound. Irish Wolfhounds dates back to ancient times, its origins are myth and legend rather than fact. However, what's definite is that they are descendants of wolves (most likely gray wolves) and sighthounds of that time.
The Wolfhounds ended in 1990.

They are great dogs with a very calm loving disposition. They are a gentle giant and a great member of the family!
