No, I don’t trust my Deerhound off leash.

I’m cautious about letting my Deerhound off leash. While they are generally calm, they have a strong instinct to chase. I took my Deerhound to a park once and he spotted a deer and took off! Training has helped with recall, but I still prefer to keep him leashed in open areas. They are gentle giants, but their size and speed can be surprising.
