Scottish deerhound leaping and bounding

[rickysrejects]

Great dog. My buddy has one like that, but it smells so bad, I try to keep my distance. He's too old to bathe with his sensitive skin. He's very nice though. How old do these things get? His is a mixed breed and will be 16 in a few weeks.

[ewcogar]

@rickysrejects They live to be 12 or 13 at the most...a mixed breed like your friend's dog could live a lot longer. A purebred deerhound does not smell unless it has some sort of health issue. That's one of the great things about the breed....the lack of odor.

wow i love your dog absolutely adorable...

[ewcogar]

@someguytb Thank you! He has gotten older since I made this little video and doesn't leap around anymore :(

[HollywoodUndead158]

[Tyfasi]

are deerhounds any healthier than wolfhounds?

[99Jessabel99]

I want one of these someday. They're so elegant. I just wish they lived longer. :(

[Tyiranie]

Wow...what a graceful breed.

[tangledfan]

[4llewellyn]

What a beautiful creature.

[ZultaniteDragon]

Funny Video - Deerhound is cute!! I hope someday to have the space for a beautiful Scottish Deerhound ~

[ThrashMetalGuy]

they look identical to the irish wolfhound

[xJunkieMonkeyx]

@ThrashMetalGuy

The irish wolfhound has a harsher face, and doesnt have a convex (ish) profile. The wolfhound also stands slightly taller than the deerhound.

[DaveInBridport]

Our deerhound x lurcher much like this when excited. What a lovely dog.

[diddlysquat21]

lol buddy the dirt eater lol!!!! CUTE!

[LeeDassin]

Aww, he's so happy to be running around with his family, and he prances like a deer :P

Is this your backyard? I saw a white fence. It's a beautiful place for these dogs to play :)

[christmanpunch]

Wow. I've never seen a dog move like that before. Very cool.

[Tormentor]

What is the average life expectancy for this breed?

[ewcogar]

Not long enough....12ish

[Tormentor]

Wow, still this is longer than I expected it to be. Anyways, have a German Shorthaired pointer since 3 weeks now. The other breeds will have to wait a little ;), but thanks for the info.

[xBeauVx]

@ewcogar If that. Gorgeous animals.

[kdhith]

Goofus! Awesome vid. Thanks!

[ianhoppe]

I this kind of dog much of a fetcher?

I have a dog that I think may be part wolfhound and/or deerhound.

He bucks and plays almost exactly like this one and chews on sticks and balls but really doesnt play fetch, its more of a keep-away game and tug-of-war.

[ewcogar]

He does not fetch...ever. He sort of throws the ball around for himself and runs after it.

[EHshifty]

I have a deerhound X. He kinda fetches. You'll chuck the ball away and he'll bring it back, but getting it out of his mouth is a different matter entirely!

[xXRabbaniZz]

@ewcogar lolz :D

[kintakintyea]

A Bonnie Beestie! An weel named!!

[mrothga73]

Whiskey...I think your mom needs to bring the camera out more often because you obviously love the spotlight!

See you at the dog park!

Love-

Bongo

[literaryone]

Bravo Whiskey! Can you teach us to do that? We just noticed, if you look ever so closely, that Browny B is seen briefly and Fitzy actually has a moment of movement!

Your pup pals,

Ernie, Fitz and Browny
