Scottish Deerhound

The Scottish Deerhound is a large sighthound once bred to hunt red deer in the Scottish Highlands. Known as the 'Royal Dog of Scotland,' they combine a majestic, rugged appearance with a deeply gentle and polite personality. They are quiet and laid-back indoors but require significant space to stretch their long legs outside.
