History

• He comes from Scotland
• He was used to pursue and kill deer

Personality and Behavior

• He's very gentle, peaceful and friendly
• His hunting instinct will cause him to chase any small creature that runs by
• He can be destructive if he doesn't get enough exercise each day
• He doesn't bark much
• His independent natured means he isn't an eager-to-please-you dog

Training

• He's fairly easy to train. He learns commands at an average rate.

Shedding

• He sheds quite a bit of hair. You'll find some hair stuck to your clothes, couch and carpets.

Grooming / Maintenance

• His medium-length coat only needs to be brushed occasionally. However, because it sheds you may find yourself brushing it once a week, or more, to minimize the hair in your home (what you remove with a brush doesn't end up on the couch!).
