Can Scottish Deerhounds be left alone?

No, Scottish Deerhounds generally do not do well if left alone for long periods. They are social dogs who thrive on companionship and interaction with their families. Being left alone for extended times can lead to separation anxiety, boredom, and behavioral issues.

They are best suited to homes where they can be part of daily activities and receive regular attention and interaction. If you need to be away from home frequently, provide them with plenty of mental stimulation, exercise, and even a companion animal to help them cope better with being alone.
