Scottish Deerhound Information
Scottish Deerhound Description:As the name suggests, the origin of the Scottish Deerhound lies in Scottish Highlands. Evidence suggests that the breed dates back to the pre-historic era. However, the exact time of the origin of the breed remain unknown. It was primarily used for hunting red deer, wolves, wild boar, kangaroo as well as other big game. During 18th century, the Scottish Deerhound became popular with the royal class, with anybody below the rank of earl refrained from owning the breed. This led to dwindling numbers of the breed, which were later revived by McNeil brothers through a dedicated breeding program. Like other breeds, the numbers of this breed fell again during the Second World War. Scottish Deerhound was first recognized by the AKC in 1886. |
