Question

What is the breed of Dog on the back of the old 5 pound note from the ulster bank limited? (like coat of arms)

Answer 1

Irish Wolfhounds. Arguably the largest dog breed in the world and definately the tallest if not the heaviest. Beautiful and loyal dogs but they need LOTS of room and LOTS of food. I almost got one out of the dogpound but the original owners came for him at the last moment :o(

Answer 2

It's an Irish Wolfhound, which is listed as the tallest breed of dogs. It is a fast large dog bred for hunting.

Answer 3

They look like they are Irish Wolfhounds.
