Where to Get A Staghound

The Scottish Deerhound and the Greyhound combine to create an excellent hunting companion. Staghounds are best known for running down coyotes, making them indispensable on farms and ranches. They are also loving family companions but it is recommended the owner or family be active and outdoorsy; ideally the owner will have a fenced yard at the least but preferably a large property for him to roam. Finding Staghounds for sale, however, may prove challenging and they seem to be more common in Australia than the United States. Most owners work their dogs and keep them as family companions instead of breeding them for profit, therefore, if you happen upon a few of these puppies for sale they will likely be inexpensive; adults are easier to find than puppies. Rescue organizations for Greyhounds and Greyhound mixes are your best bet for finding a Staghound for free.
