I know someone with a deerhound....big tall dog, but really mellow and sweet.
Many years ago (I'm a painting contractor) I had a nursing home/assisted living home client. They always had two retired racer Greyhounds living in the home...even though they were relatively large dogs, they were very gentle and sweet and safe around older, sometimes frail people.
I agree you don't need a yard, necessarily. I have a very large fenced yard (almost 1/3 of an acre) but honestly, the dogs prefer to be inside, or wherever I am. When outside, they play a bit but mostly hover around the back door waiting to come back inside. Then again when I pick up leashes, put shoes on and do anything that indicates we're going for walkies or a drive to the park or beach, it's pretty much thundering pandemonium.
