ScottishDeerhound

The Scottish Deerhound, as the name implies, was born in Scotland and its early use was for deer hunting. The Scottish Deerhound was praised as "the most perfect creature God ever created", and its basic characteristics are very similar to those of the Reintel except for its coat.

Its height is strong and its rough coat can withstand harsh weather. It is now a good companion dog in addition to hunting. The ideal Scottish Deerhound has a shoulder height of 30 to 32 inches, with females being a little shorter than males. In fact, there is no limit to the shoulder height of the Scottish Deerhound, and anything taller or shorter is normal. But dogs that are not in this range will only look very ugly.

The ears are wide and get progressively narrower as they get closer to the eyes, and the pointed muzzle gets progressively narrower as it moves toward the tip of the nose. The teeth and lips are slightly flat. The flat head is long and not round, with the top of the eyes slightly raised and clearly separated from the stop. The medium length of hair covers the head and its texture is slightly softer than the hair distributed in the rest of the head. Black noseglasses, then the coat is of a blue camel color

The noseglasses are orchid-colored and slightly curved. If the coat is light colored, the muzzle is black. The moustache of the Scottish Deerhound is silky and the whiskers look beautiful.

The eyes are dark in color, generally dark brown, tan or hazel. Its unsuitable for a particularly light color, with appropriately full eyes. When resting, the eyes appear soft; when excited, and full of sharp eyes, with a very far sight. The rim of the eye is black.

The coat is a rough bristle, then covers the body, neck, and limbs, and its length is 3 to 4 inches; the head, chest, and abdomen are covered by soft hair. The bangs are located on the inside of the front and back legs and are different from the Collie's "feathers". A woolly coat is a defect. A well-stretched silky coat is intermingled with a stiff coat and is preferred to a woolly coat.

The mixed type of coat is due to the climate in the United States. A dense, thick, coarse coat is ideal, with a coarse, hard, dry feel.

Coat color is related to personal preference, with the preferred coat color being dark orchid gray, followed by varying shades of gray, speckled, and dark colors are generally preferred. Yellow, sandy red, reddish brown, and especially black muzzle and ears, the above coat colors are treated the same way. White coats are not allowed, while white coats are allowed on the chest and toes, provided they are restricted to dark colored breeds. Since all coats of the Deerhound are of a uniform type, it is not desirable. Heads with white bands or necks with a ring of white are out of order. Although the absence of white is perfect, some of the best breeds have a slight white tinge at the tip of the tail. The Scottish Deerhound was once very popular in Scotland, and some painters have described the grace, nobility and beauty of the Scottish Deerhound in their works. Although this dog has many advantages, it is not suitable for urban breeding because of its large size.

It is very loyal to its owner and is a good friend to humans. It is not aggressive and not overly nervous. Quiet, noble, keen and alert, it is not aggressive, but it has great persistence and unyielding courage when necessary. Once only the Scottish aristocracy was allowed to own the graceful and docile Deerhound. As a companion, the Deerhound is perfect, tame and easy to train. It has reliable loyalty and utmost devotion to its owner.
