  • Visualising the Scottish Deerhound Standard
    VISUALISING THE SCOTTISH DEERHOUND STANDARD “ The most perfect creature of heaven.” -Sir Walter Scott (The Talisman) A presentation on the Scottish Deerhound by Barbara Heidenreich (www.fernhill.com) for the St Lawrence Region Dog Judges Association, August 8, 2012 1 Historical Notes on Function: The Scottish Deerhound is a breed whose antecedents may be as old as 2000 years depicted on sculpted stones dating to 800 A.D. and orally in Celtic legends. Historically, records as early as 1563 describe the “tainchells” held by Mary Queen of Scots where beaters would round up to 2,000 red deer and drive them for the royal event....... “the Queen ordered one of the best dogs let loose on the deer”. On that day it was recorded that 360 deer were killed and 5 wolves. The “deerhound” antecedent was described in 1570 as follows: “There is a kind of hunting dog which they call “leoporarius” and “emissaries” and also “vertragus”; we seek out those which are long in body, light and speedy, with short straight legs, with sparkling eyes, with muscular chest and with the rest of the members on the slender side, except those having rather broad hindquarters are more recommended, and with a long, light and smooth tail. Nevertheless we have seen some brought from Norway and the island of Thule of uncommon speed which in tail and body are quite rough haired. But to say the truth these are not used for their sagacity but for their speed. Of this kind are the British, valued for speed as well as strength, except that by their big body they are more suitable for chasing stag.” Source: Conrad Heresbach, Cologne, 1570 (later the dogs in this passage are described by William Dansey who adds in a footnote to his translation of Arrian published in 1831, “ ..the latter are doubtless Caledonian deer-greyhounds”) Two elements in particular have formed the Deerhound as a distinct breed: Its quarry: the Red Deer (Cervus elaphus), the largest land mammal in Britain, has a size in the Scottish Highlands somewhere around that of a white-tailed deer.

  • A Pocket Guide to Judging the Scottish Deerhound
    A POCKET GUIDE TO JUDGING THE SCOTTISH DEERHOUND The Scottish Deerhound is a large sighthound that was developed to catch and bring down the 300- to 400-lb. red deer of Scotland. The dogs were worked on the hilly and rugged terrain of the Scottish Highlands. Therefore, the Deerhound is both fast and powerful. The overall dog is well balanced, slightly longer than tall, and with good bone and muscle. He is a rough-coated dog, natural in appearance, and has an air of quiet dignity. The laid-back, quiet demeanor, which is an inherent trait in the breed, normally does not make for an animated performance in the show ring. 1 The head is essentially a wedge when seen from above or in The length of this text block is about 3 /2˝—the approximate profile, with a powerful underjaw and level lips.

  • Dogs of Scotland
    DOGSDOGS OF OF SCOTLAND There are 13 breeds of dogs which have their origins in or along the borders of Scotland or among the islands near its shores. All the dogs were developed with a specific job to do. The work included 1) gathering and driving a flock or herd of farm animals, 2) hunting and retrieving game, or 3) protecting livestock or crops from predators. In addition to their original purposes, these dogs are wonderful companions and are very popular in the United States and Scotland as elsewhere in the world. The breeds are the Bearded Collie, Border Collie, Border Terrier, Cairn Terrier, Collie (rough and smooth varieties), Dandie Dinmont Terrier, Golden Retriever, Gordon Setter, Scottish Deerhound, Scottish Terrier, Shetland Sheepdog, Skye Terrier, and West Highland White Terrier. Herding Dogs Herding Dogs Herding Dogs, traditionally are used in Scotland to gather, drive, and protect domestic farm animals. Collie Rough (left below) and Smooth Border Collie (2 colors) Bearded Collie Shetland Sheepdog The Bearded Collie is possibly Scotland’s oldest breed of dog and is a gentle, happy dog devoted to its family. A Beardie will have a long, shaggy coat that may be black, gray, brown, or fawn with or without areas of white. With the fur on its head, one might think it would have trouble seeing. However, when the Beardie moves the fur blows backward allowing the dog to see very well. The Border Collie originated in the border country between Scotland and England. You can see a demonstration today at the Virginia Scottish Games of how a BC works with its shepherd to contain and move sheep.
