I so want an Irish Wolfhound! I just don't know how they would do in the humid summers here. He is our 3rd Dane, and all have been this way. He weights around 160 now. It is funny to watch them grow. they can gain a lb a day sometimes.
Wolfhounds are couch potatoes, I've had two over the years and they are quite content to veg and take life easy!
The only thing you have to be careful about is anesthetic should they ever require surgery. Because they are a sight hound, they have to have a special anesthetic. I lost my first one because the vet used the wrong anesthetic to neuter him and I had to put the dog down. :(
