Description:

The Irish wolfhound (Irish: Cú Faoil, Irish pronunciation: [ˈkuː ˈfˠiːlʲ]) is a breed of domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris), specifically a sighthound.
The borzoi (/ˈbɔrzɔɪ/, literally "fast") is a breed of domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris) also called the Russian wolfhound and descended from dogs brought to Russia from central Asian countries. It is similar in shape to a greyhound, and is also a member of the sighthound family.

Notes:

Shot in Denmark a long time ago. I scanned the original photograph for a photobook for my parents. I love this picture and i wanted to share it with the people on projectnoah.
