Scottish Deerhound Growth Chart
The Scottish Deerhound is the regal greyhound of the Highlands — a tall, rough-coated sighthound once reserved for Scottish nobility to course red deer. Gentle, dignified, and graceful, Deerhounds are quiet giants. Adult males typically weigh 85-110 lb and females 75-95 lb, with most fully grown around 24 months.

Scottish Deerhound weight by age
Typical male and female puppy weight ranges by age, available in lb and kg. Individual puppies may vary.
Most Scottish Deerhound puppies approach adult weight around 24 months, although individuals may finish earlier or later.
These estimated ranges combine the breed's adult weights with a size-based growth curve. They are not measured breed-specific percentiles or health targets. Month labels are rounded approximations; use the week values for each row. How these weight ranges are calculated
Scottish Deerhound Growth Stages
Understanding the typical growth stages helps you know what to expect as your Scottish Deerhound puppy grows.
Neonatal
0–2 weeksPuppies are born with eyes and ears closed, relying entirely on their mother. Rapid weight gain occurs during this period.
Socialization
3–12 weeksEyes and ears open. Puppies begin to explore, play, and learn social behaviors. This is a critical period for development.
Juvenile
3–8 monthsRapid growth continues. Puppies become more independent, start teething, and develop coordination.
Adolescent
8–18 monthsGrowth rate begins to slow. Puppies reach sexual maturity and may test boundaries. Muscle mass develops.
Young Adult
18–24 monthsGrowth is nearly complete. Your puppy is filling out and approaching adult proportions.
Adult
24+ monthsYour puppy has reached their full adult size. Weight should remain relatively stable with proper nutrition.
Scottish Deerhound FAQ
How much will my Scottish Deerhound puppy weigh as an adult?
Adult males typically weigh 85-110 lb and females typically 75-95 lb. Because the sexes have their own ranges, use the male and female columns in the weight-by-age table above rather than a single blended target.
At what age is a Scottish Deerhound fully grown?
Most reach adult weight around 24 months. Giant breeds grow for a long time; steady, even growth matters more than hitting a target early, so keep them lean through the long adolescent phase.
How accurate is a Scottish Deerhound puppy weight chart?
It is a reliable reference, but this breed's build is extreme — a healthy Deerhound shows ribs and hip bones that would look alarming on other breeds. Do not mistake sighthound leanness for underweight; trust the scale and the trend over weeks.
How much should a Scottish Deerhound puppy weigh at 12 weeks?
Check the 12-week row in the weight-by-age table above for the estimated male and female ranges. If your puppy falls well outside that band, re-check the scale, the lb/kg setting, and the age entry first — a single off reading is more common than a truly unusual puppy.
Do male and female Scottish Deerhounds grow differently?
Yes, clearly. Males are usually larger, typically 85-110 lb versus 75-95 lb for females. Use the sex-specific columns in the table above, since a single blended range would be misleading.
