NEW YORK – A Scottish deerhound that loves to chase wild animals caught his biggest prize yet, winning best in show Tuesday night at the Westminster Kennel Club.

What a gorgeous dog.  Reminds me of a combination of Sorsha and Celt.  The Irish Wolfhound is a deerhound, too.  The discovery that they killed the wolves hunting the deer led the Irish to shift their use to guarding their valuable cattle.  The Scottish Deerhound and the Irish Wolfhound are very similar.  The Deerhound is more slender and weighs less, but in temperament and in appearance they are similar.  Hats off to to Hickory!
