Scottish Deerhounds are quite quick and can run so fast that all one can see is a blurry streak. With this great ability, a sport that involves speed is a good event for them. But take into account that these dogs are sight hounds meaning that they use their sense of sight to track their prey and chase after them with rapid speed. With these two components, lure coursing is the perfect sport for the canine. Lure coursing imitates the chase of the rabbit by the dog around a course. This uses a lure that appears to be an artificial rabbit and is pulled by a motor and pulley system. The dogs are lined either twos or threes, wearing clothes that are assigned to them for the audience viewing and the chase begins. Scoring of the event is done by would crosses the finish line first and tallied to determine which dog acquired the most points to take the gold.

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!

How many puppies in a Scottish Deerhound Litter?

The famous Scottish poet & historical novelist, Sir Walter Scott was an owner of this breed and called it “the most perfect creature of Heaven”. This dog is a gentle, elegant and polite type and is friendly to family and strangers as well. It would be a bit difficult to believe that they were first bred to take down the Scottish roe deer which was more than twice their size. Nowadays, these dogs enjoy long walks and running free in open spaces and spending the afternoons relaxing with their masters. Being a responsible owner, it would be best to know other aspects of the breed. Especially if one was thinking of breeding. Just how many puppies are expected from the Deerhound’s litter? Suffice to say, the breed can have between 8 to 9 puppies. But owners should not expect them to be watchdogs because their instincts to be polite, docile and gentle may not bring them up to par.

Why take your dog to the vet if you can give it a check-up yourself?

The Royal Dog of Scottland

The “royal dog of Scotland”-
Prized for its grace and speed,
The beautiful
Scottish Deerhound-
Is a fearless breed indeed.

Intelligent, calm and gentle,
A dog with a heart of pure gold,
With enormous size and energy-
This breed is a joy to behold!

I could search the whole world over,
But no truer friend would be found-
Than the one I see
Looking up at me-
My wonderful Scottish Deerhound.
