About the Breed
Better known in North America as the Scottish Deerhound, these
hounds were bred before the advent of the gun, to assist in
the capture of red deer for the table. Pace and stamina were
essential characteristics, and Greyhounds appear to have been
involved in their early development. Changes in hunting techniques
contributed to the decline of the Deerhound, but Queen Victoria
helped to ensure the survival of the breed, which was immortalized
in paintings by the artist Sir Edwin Landseer.
It is not a common breed today but retains support from a
dedicated group of owners. Deerhounds are good-natured dogs
and settle well in spacious domestic surroundings. They need
plenty of exercise, and will still chase game if the opportunity
presents itself. Although the Deerhound may appear somewhat
similar to the Irish Wolfhound, it can be distinguished by
its over-all sleeker appearance. A good brushing of its harsh
wiry hair will be adequate. Dark bluish-grey is the favoured
coat colour.
Height not less than 30 in (76 cm), bitches not below 28 in
(71 cm)
Weight 85-105 lb (38.6-47.6 kg)
Coat type/colour A thick, close-lying, harsh somewhat ragged
coat is required, with a moustache of silky hair. (See Irish
Wolfhound.) Colour grey, brindle and wheaten; red, sandy and
fawn were once very popular.
