One of my best friends is a Scottish deer hound owner. They are a breed of dog bulkier than a greyhound – and every bit as hairy as an Irish wolf hound, only with a slighter build. They are not the most popular of AKC dog breeds, but they have a loyal following. Two theatrically released films in which you can see these dogs include Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Out of Africa. Hickory, a “deerie,” won the Westminster dog show a few years ago.
