Staghounds should wear a basket type muzzle when running off leash (alone or with other animals)? ....alone, because you never know when someone else's dog is going to come running out of nowhere....
Staghounds are very calm and affectionate, making wonderful companion dogs in addition to their tracking abilities. Even with their great size, they are not often trained as watchdogs.

When European Boer settlers arrived in South Africa in the 16th and 17th centuries, they brought with them such breeds as the Mastiff, Great Dane, Bloodhound, Pointer, Staghound and Greyhound, among others.
History: Bluetick Coonhounds descended from the American Foxhound, various French hounds such as the Blue Gascon, the Porcelaine, the Saintongeois, and other French Staghounds. Many of these breeds were already in the U.S.
Custer was especially fond of coursing breeds - Greyhounds and "staghounds" - and traveled with a hound pack that numbered about forty.
European dogs such as the Great Dane, Mastiff, Bloodhound, Pointer, Staghound, and Greyhound were crossed with Hottentot tribal hunting dogs that had a distinctive ridge of hair growing down their backs to create the first Rhodesian Ridgebacks.
At first the deerhound and staghound was used, followed by the fox. The English then developed a breed just for hunting by combining the Greyhound (speed), the Fox Terrier, (hunting instinct) and the bulldog for their stamina.
Along with them, they brought breeds such as the Great Dane, Mastiff, Staghound, Bloodhound, Pointer, Greyhound, and others.
Many other breeds have contributed to its genetic makeup, including the Wolf, staghound, foxhound, greyhound, Dobermann etc.; these diverse breed contributions account for the Alaskan's great variability of appearance.
Whilst obviously a sense hound experts are divided as to whether they were created by crossbreeding beagles with bloodhounds all from some other mix. Some experts say they develop naturally mutating either from staghounds St Hubert Hounds in England.
