The wild dog that historically lived in Ireland is the Irish wolfhound, which is not a true wild dog but a domesticated breed. However, the last native wild canids in Ireland were the wolves, which were hunted to extinction by the late 18th century. Today, Ireland has no native wild dog species, although some foxes can be found, like the red fox, which is often considered a wild canid.
