The Scottish Deerhound is a majestic and ancient breed known for its endurance, speed, and great skill at hunting. Originating in Scotland, they were prized for their ability to bring down deer in rugged terrain. Despite their large size, Deerhounds are gentle giants, characterized by their dignified, polite, and affectionate nature. They are laid back and often described as laid-back, preferring to lounge around the house but requiring regular exercise to run freely. Their love of the chase makes them natural at lure coursing, and they have a high prey drive, necessitating careful supervision. Overall, Deerhounds are loyal and loving companions that thrive with active, involved owners.
