How to groom a Scottish Deerhound?

These sight hounds were bred to hunt deer and have some similarity to the Greyhound.  Despite their function to bring down another animal, they can be gentle and friendly to their families. The relentless cold weather from its country of origin had the breed develop a harsh and wiry coat. Although it can look a bit unruly, there are still beauty tips that one should follow to keep this canine looking good.  Coats must be brushed with a slicker brush followed by a natural bristle brush.  With scissors, trim the hairs at the back of the legs to make it look neat. Trimming of the hair on the head and ears and sculpting of the beard is done to keep the distinguishing look of the dog.  While bathing, it is important to use cotton balls to prevent water from entering the ears that may cause infection. Drying and giving it a thorough brushing for the finishing touch to make this winter-bashed coat look great!
