    Beautiful animal! Hopefully the new found popularity and fame will not ruin the breed as it has with others.

    Although beautiful and graceful and so well mannered I doubt there will be a run on the breeders due to the sheer size of the lovely animal-----most households in the US at least do not go for dogs bigger than a lab, and these guys are definitely bigger than a lab. I would think this animal, like the greyhounds we used to have, deserve a sizable yard for exercising, and to allow its owner the regular opportunity to observe that graceful stride in full out action. Scottish Deerhounds are not likely to be bred for anything other than show dogs, so should keep pure to their designated standard, which from my understanding is at least 150 years old.
