The Scottish Deerhound, or simply the Deerhound, is a large breed of hound (a sighthound), once bred to hunt the red deer by coursing. But today, they enjoy long walks, opportunities to run, regular meals, and a nice sofa to nap on.

Affectionately known as the "Royal Dog of Scotland," it is not difficult to imagine how this breed, with its athletic, wellmuscled build, came by the title. The Scottish Deerhound has a romantic past, a noble bearing, and loving nature, so much so that Sir Walter Scott — himself the owner of the deerhound named Maida — described the breed as "the most perfect creature of Heaven."

The Scottish Deerhound can best be described as chivalrous. He's gentle yet strong, sensitive yet brave. Loyal, devoted, quiet, dignified, and alert are all terms that apply to this dog. He is courageous in the face of danger but never aggressive. However, the Scottish Deerhound is not recommended in homes with smaller animals and pets that could be considered as "prey." If they are not properly socialized, and for some Scottish Deerhounds even socialization does not curb it, they will give chase whenever they see the other animal. This could result in a smaller animal being killed or injured.

The Scottish Deerhound is a very affectionate breed and will generally befriend everyone he meets. He gets along well with other dogs if they are large and don't trigger his prey drive. He doesn't make the best alert or guard dog because of his loving nature. If you can meet the special needs of a giant breed built for speed, the Scottish Deerhound is a devoted companion who will fill your life with all the love his large and dignified heart can give.
