Are Scottish deerhounds gentle?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Because of his great size, strength, and speed, the Scottish Deerhound does require early socialization, but he is almost unfailingly polite with strangers. This is not a guard dog, sometimes not even a watchdog -- some easygoing individuals will remain comatose when the doorbell rings.


Are Scottish deerhounds friendly?

Like most sight hounds, Scottish deerhounds are very sensitive, one-family dogs. They are friendly, but not gregarious, toward strangers. As a watchdog or protection dog, they are quite hopeless.

Are Scottish deerhounds calm?

Scottish Deerhounds are calm and sedate. They enjoy a good run or a long walk, but in the main they're more mellow than manic. They'll enjoy any game that involves chasing something, although you shouldn't expect them to bring it back.

Do deerhounds make good pets?

Deerhounds are known to be gentle dogs. They get on well with children and make excellent family pets, given the right socialisation as a puppy. Their coats will require brushing 2-3 times per week as their adult coats in particular are prone to matting.

Are deerhounds destructive?

Deerhounds are extremely attached to their human family members, and are miserable, bored and destructive if left alone too long and too often.
