Caring for a Scottish Deerhound

Health

As a giant, deep-chested breed, Scottish Deerhounds carry meaningful bloat risk. They're also prone to cardiomyopathy and osteosarcoma (bone cancer), and — like many giant breeds — have a shorter average lifespan, often 8-10 years.

Nutrition

A quality diet matched to this breed's size and activity level, with meals split to help reduce bloat risk.

Grooming

The rough, wiry coat needs regular brushing to prevent matting.

Training

Gentle and trainable, though genuinely independent as a sighthound — secure fencing matters given real prey drive and speed.

About the breed

A large Scottish sighthound bred to course red deer, closely related to the Greyhound but built for greater size and a rougher coat suited to Highland weather.

Gentle and dignified despite its size, the Scottish Deerhound is a calm, affectionate companion at home.
