Scottish Deerhound


Rory, Caitlyn and the Kids and Tessa’s birthday from Chartwell Scottish Deerhounds
The Scottish Deerhound is one of the tallest breeds of dogs, probably “neck and neck” with the Irish Wolfhound. Because of its size, exercise requirements and consumption of food it may not be the best dog for all families. If you can deal with all of these then you will have a wonderful and loyal companion. They get along great with children, friends, neighbors, strangers and the Fuller Brush salesmen. In other words an exceptional and inviting host. It will get along with other dogs but will probably see non-canine household pets as “game”. It is best suited to live where it can run. Be careful when walking/jogging because it believes cars are also game. Its wiry coat will need a good deal of attention.
