Introduction

The Scottish Deerhound is a gentle giant, renowned for its dignified temperament and unique appearance. With a wiry, rough coat and a frame built for speed, this breed exudes an aristocratic elegance.

Their affectionate nature makes them excellent companions, though they do possess a strong instinct to chase.
