Helens right, forget most deerhounds from show lines..My deerhounds would face lions, and one of my dogs had a particular hatered of Alsations, used to throw the guard dog from a local scrap year all over the place if he got half a chance.
Theres an injection that can help anyones deerhound that performs as Helen suggests, its cheap and made of lead and the effects last a long, long time
Would be very tempted if he wasn't the nicest dog I have ever met, his temperament makes up for his other failings and he is gorgeous to look at. Wish I had one of yours.
