Deerhound - Designer Decals

The exact origin of the "Scottish Deerhound" is shrouded in the mists of antiquity. A large, strong, and more brave hearted dog doesn't exist. In the churchyard of Perthshire, are sculptured stones showing several Deerhounds. The date of which is considered to have been prior to the introduction of Christianity. The Highland Chieftains prized and cared for their Deerhounds with great zeal and in the buik of Chronicles it is written how the theft of King Crathlint's favourite Deerhound precipitated a battle in which 100 Picts and 60 Scots lost their lives. The Scottish Deerhound is truly the Royal Dog of Scotland. In describing the Deerhound the following translation from the Celtic shows the ancient ideas regarding the Deerhounds requisites.

With horses breast, with depth of chest,

With breadth of loin and curve of groin,

And nape set far behind the head;

Such were the dogs that Fingal bred"
