The Scottish Deerhound, or simply the Deerhound, is a tall breed of hound once bred to hunt the red deer. Its antecedents were kept by the Scots and Picts (tribal people living in today U.K.), and used to help in the hunt for hoofed game. Males can be over 32 inches (80 cm) tall, and weigh up to 110 pounds (50 kg). Females´ height is usually about 28 inches (70 cm), weight ranges from 75 to 95 pounds (35–43 kg).
