Scottish Deerhound

As their name suggests, Scottish Deerhounds were originally bred to hunt deer, and this hunting instinct remains in full force, so it's best to keep them on a lead in unsafe areas. Despite their interest in hunting, the Scottish Deerhound is perfectly polite with people and can make a devoted family dog. As with many large breeds, the Scottish Deerhound is prone to bloating and should be fed two or three small meals a day rather than one large one. An elevated food bowl can also help with this problem.
