I believe we might have had Scottish Deerhounds on HP years ago, but I don't believe we do anymore and we really should. https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/scottish-deerhound/ Text reproduced by permission from the Complete Dog Book, © American Kennel ClubThe origin of the Deerhound breed is of such antiquity and the earliest names bestowed on it so inextricably mixed that no sound conclusion can be arrived at as to whether the Deerhound was at one time identical with the ancient Irish Wolfdog and, in the course of centuries, bred to a type better suited to hunt deer, or whether, as some writers claim, he is the descendant of the hounds of the Picts. Very early descriptive names were used to identify the purpose of the dog rather than to identify species. We find such names as “Irish Wolf Dog,” “Scotch Greyhound,” “Rough Greyhound,” “Highland Deerhound.” https://deerhound.org/
