The Scottish Deerhound is a large, elegant sighthound bred to hunt red deer in the Scottish Highlands. Gentle, dignified, and affectionate, they're devoted family companions despite their size. They're calm indoors but need space to stretch their legs.
Daily exercise including opportunities to run keeps them happy. Their rough coat requires regular brushing. Training should be gentle and patient. For those with space who appreciate elegant, gentle giants, the Scottish Deerhound is noble.
