irish wolfhounds

At first recollection of those massive dogs from Gossip Girl, I immediately thought of Irish Wolfhounds. But, when reading the comments on Buzz's show recap, someone mentioned the Scottish Deerhound. What a rare breed indeed – at one point, no one ranked below an earl could own one – which would make it an appropriately elitist choice for the Archibald family. I'm still not sold either way but I found this video on YouTube of three dark and one cream Irish Wolfhound and two Scottish Deerhounds. Check it out and see if you can decide which breed best matches the dogs from Gossip Girl.

Well it wasn't pretty Penny or Leighton's pup either, but I was happy to see furry faces on last night's Gossip Girl. First off, I know it's TV, but these dogs just appear out of nowhere – I don't remember much about Nate's home life but huge hounds would be hard to miss, right?
Perhaps the Archibald doggies live in the Hamptons year-round or were out with dog walkers for the entire first season. Whatevs. Either way check out their large cameo – unless Nate also has some secret school-aged siblings who use that lil home in the background as a playhouse, let's imagine it to be a luxury dog mansion for this duo.

I'm getting carried away but see more pics from last night's episode when you read more
