Yes that's right - used in connection with longdogs in the UK it means a deerhound or deerhound/greyhound not a true staghound - which is a scent hound like an oversized foxhound used in packs for hunting deer in the West Country

Up here in Scotland any tall rough or broken coated dogs bred off greyhounds

and deerhounds were always referred to as staghounds.
