Scottish Deerhound

**Semantic type:** Mammal

**Definition:** A tall and slim sight hound with a saggy, long coat, beard, mustache and mane. The harsh, wiry coat comes in various shades of grey (blue-grey is preferred), fawn, or brindle, with dark ears, and a tapering dark muzzle. It may have some white on the chest, feet, and tail. The soft ears lie back against the head unless the dog is excited, in which case, they become half-perked. The average height range is 28-32 inches and the average weight range is 75-110 pounds.
