14. Sensitive, with a side of silliness.
Gentle, kind and unassumingly friendly, the Deerhound can make an excellent friend, confidant and pet as they are typically a quiet and reserved hound, but with a sneaky (and much welcomed) silly humor. The sweet souls can be very demonstrative in their affections and never overwhelmingly or outrageously rude. A charming sense of humor is to be expected especially when it comes to their size around smaller animals or children. As is typical with all large or giant breeds, Deerhounds need to grow into themselves and may take a little bit of time to mature into their peaceful and calm presence. The Deerhound is one of the quietest dog breeds by nature and would take running over barking every day.
