Deerhound

        The Deerhound is a breed from Scotland, and is literally a Greyhound with a shaggy overcoat.  He’s hunted deer for 1,000 years, and is very lovable.  He’s a very, very tall breed, at 30 inches high for the male, and 28 inches for the female.  The male weighs 100 pounds, and the female weighs 80 ½.  Grooming is fairly east, thanks to the harshness of the coat.  The coat can be from grey to fawn-colored in color, and the breed is highly trainable.  He has the charm and adaptability that is unusual in a giant.
