About
The Deerhound is an ancient Scottish sighthound developed from wolfhound stock to course red deer in the Highlands, once so prized that in the age of chivalry only nobles of the rank of earl or above could own one. Resembling a larger, rough-coated Greyhound, it is gentle, friendly and dignified at home but needs regular opportunities to gallop safely.
