Winter - The Deerhound Club

From the President 

Irr the spring of 2002 issue I wrote about 

the Deerhound being the dog of Three 

Beauties, one of which was ternperament. I 

would like now to elaborate a little on this 

because I think ternperarnents have changed 

since I had rny first hounds in the nineteen 

fiftics. 

Writirrg about tcrnperarnent is difficult 

bcc:trrsc tll'thc ctrritlus British habit of 

cxaggcratirrg wlrat lras been said or written. 

You orrly have to say that you are not keen 

rln sornething for people to assulne 

irnrnediately that you dislike it intensely, or such-and-such is attractive for 

people to leap to the conclusion that it is an absolute essential viftue. 

Bearing this caveat in mind, I will try to exprain what I mean when I say 

that I think the Deerhound temperarnent has changed, but the reader rnust riot 

hcrs rvcltl alicr shcep sltc would after the initial verbal reprimand, take it horne 

Itrltl lic it rrll llclorc tll()rc scvcrc punishment. Of course she nright not have felt 

lltt'ttt'ctl lo tkr lltis il'shc had l'lccn a man but how many rnodern Deerhounds 

\ro11l1l tltcrttll ol''rtttsrvctirrg back' rather than cowering if correction has to be 

rtt lrr r rrr isle r e tl'.) 

and the possibility of finding a bad one is almost certainly less than in any 

other breed. One would not criticize at all if the overall siandard were not so 

very high.

A further meeting was held on 30'h August, with Mrs Dowsett, Mrs Peach

Health Declaration as part of the Club's Arrnual Returns, and it was agreecl 

that a Health Cornrnittee be appointed - Chaired by Miss Finnett, witlr Dr 

Saralr Helps as Secretary, with power to co-opt as necessary. Mrs Rednrorrd's

I)I'ATHS 

Strath died overnight at thc vcts' lirllowing an operation to remove a foreign 

body. The old rascal had apparerrtly swallowed a plastic bag and it had got 

stuck. The vet thinks it rnight have been there for several weeks, although Strath 

was perfectly wellon Friday whcn I left forthe Committee meeting. However, 

when I got back on Saturday evening, he was clearly unwell, although not desperately 

so. t slept downstairs with him and he vomited several times during the 

night. So I called the vet on Sunday morning and we had him on the drip by 

early Sunday afternoon. He seemed to be doing well that evening, they had 

X-rayed, saw a soft mass in his abdomen and opened him up to investigate. The 

vet took out six feet of dead small intestine as well as the plastic bag and he 

seemed to be recovering well, although the vet did make it clear that he was 

very ill due to the toxins from the necrotic gut. I phoned and learned that he 

hadn't made it through the night. 

Strath was officially Killoeter Othello, bred by Nell and Seumas Caine, by 

Killoeter Lachie out of Ch Rosslyn Carric and he was bom 23rd April 1993. 

Tlere were eight in the litter and six of them made it to ten years of age. He had 

one CC. from Pat Aird at Crufts 1999, and was a semi finalist at Dava first time 

out. He did well coursing; although he never won a stake, he was a semi-finalist 

several times. Above all, he was my dear dear old boy and I'm going to miss 

hirn dreadfully. Sid

Ol'Kilbourne Blackbird and Stranwith Garrick of Gentom 

0 | August 1994-15 September 2003 and 0 l Augusr 1994-03 October 2003 

Our beautiful Deerhounds, Gandalf and Lily, died within 3 weeks of each 

other. Candalf died at home within a few hours of picking up poison from an 

unknown source. No doubt affected by the loss of her inseparable companion, 

Lily quickly lost her uphill fight against a tumour. 

candalf and Lily were not show dogs, just much loved menrbers of our famiry. 

We just want people to know that they existed and of thejoy lhey brought to 

us and everyone they met during their nine years of life. (iandall'was a big 

dog, dignified and eccentric. Lily was regal in everythirrg. shc did. even in 

dying. These two gentle creatures were our best friends. 'l hcir dcaths have left 

a big gap and have made us realise what a privilegc it is to orrrr I)eerhounds 

and what special animals they are. Mary l,cwis

THE NAG BAG 

In the run up to her critiquc our 

judge wrote "after consultatitln 

with exhibitors it was agreed to 

judge outside" I don't think so!! 

There were at least 5 or 6 (mYself 

included) exhibitors sitting within 

a few yards of our allocated ring Pic. Natqlie Heathcote 

when the judge went to inspect it-not one of 

us was .onrult"d; althougltl am told that one exhibitor who was there 

at the time of the inspection was offered a choice and she opted for 

outside. Whippet people were much more lucky, their judge did 

consult therrr(notlusi one person) and they ended up incorporating 

their covered ring with the other adjacent Deerhound ring-not only 

cooler but with u bigg"r ring than those of us who were frying outside' 

The summer shows East of-England, WKC and Richmond allocated 

Deerhounds in a covered ring.

Tailsating in the show ring. 

I appreciate that some dogs need to 

run fast but it's not necessary to 

'tailgate' 

the dog in front of you. I 

generally stand last in the line to try 

and avoid this but it does still happen 

even when there are only 3 or 4 dogs 

in the class. It is very disconcerting 

for the handlcr arrd it upsets the dog's 

concentration. lt is also unnecessary

Mad Englishmen and Does Go Out In The Middav Sun 

The old Noel Coward ditty was never so apposite as on the Sunday of the 

Bournemouth dog show. As the sun soared to its apex on the hottest day ever 

recorded in this country and the temperature went though the mercury levels. What 

else were Deerhound folk to do but parade in the rrridday sun? 

"....1n tropical climes there are certain times of day 

When all the citizens retire to tear there clothes off and perspire. 

It's one of the rules that the greatest fools obey, 

Because the sun is much to sultry and one must avoid it's ultra violct r:rr 

The natives grieve when the white men leave their huts 

Because they're obviously, definitely nuts!..." 

We ourselves had made the trip to the Bournernouth show as our usual arrrrrlrl lr,rlr,l,r 

in the New Forest. A pleasant and leisurely trip down on the Friday gavc us ;r l',rlrrr., 

evening in the hotel. A few aperitifs, followed by dinner, provided a ltlcirsrrrrr , rr,l r,, 

the day. On the Saturday we set ofTfor what was intended to be a stifl'rvrrlk rr rrlr rlr, 

father and son dogs, Mac and Bruce. We settled on the River Walk at llLrck lcr ,, I l.rr, I 

The sun was beginning to beat down even at 9.00 atn we set off along lhc brrrrl.,, r't tlr, 

Beaulieu river. At first it was a very enjoyable trek but probably not lirr llrurt, rrlro,,t 

puppy inquisitiveness saw his interest in sorne fish activity end up witlt irrr 

unscheduled head first swim in the river. However, this rnisadventurc vcrr slrortlr 

became a blessing in disguise as the heat suddenly soared. Bruce's drcrrchirrl slr',',1 

him in good stead as opposed to Mac, for whom inquisitiveness always c()nr('\ ir l)r)()l 

second to safety, who began to wilt in the heat. Still. he wasn't tlre only orre irs lrotlr 

Cath and rnyself began to fade. We decided to cut the walk short and lrcird blt l. lirr 

the safety of the cal and air conditioning. After stopping at a countfy pub lirr lrrrrtlr 

Cath began to feel decidedly iffu and the rest of the day was spent irr the lrotcl rr illr 

her feeling more and more unwell as l, bored out of my head, only succccclcd irr lt.r 

ting more and more sozzled (or, given the heat, should that read "sizzlcd"'l). lhe 

night failed to bring any relief and Cath awoke at about 2.00am f'eeling rcallf ill 

When morning came we both f-elt all we really wanted to do was to get honrc brrr 

having come all this way we decided we should nrake the ellbrt to get to the slro* 

So, to the show we went. There we met more hardy souls. The weather had obviorrslr 

put some off (when would you lrave thought adverse weather conditions woulcl nrcrrrr 

too much heat ?) but the Deerhound representation was very respectable. Havin_u gol 

there we were pleased that we had, at least, brought enough cover fbr the dogs ancl 

Helga Jansen canre to rescue with spare wet towels to drape round Mac and Bruce

17"' October 1998 was nr1, rr.,,."rr* tlirl'. oltviously 

one of the happiest days ol'rnl lilL' (cxccpt lirr Frank 

disappearing at the receptiott rvltctt "our sol.tg" was 

being played!). Aparl fi'onr all thc usuitl cxcitetnents 

and delights of the day the lirllurvirrq Inorning was 

even better. I got to open and cxartrine all the presents 

that people had been so kind to give Lrs. l-ittle did I 

know that Blaize Harris, had given us the very best 

gift of all. On our wedding day lovely Liza was born 

and a few weeks later Blaize asked Ine to visit hinl to 

pick up his wedding gift. 

I suppose it had crossed rny mind but I didn't dare expect what Blaize's gift was to be, 

a beautiful little Deerhound puppy, born on the day of our wedding. So it was that Liza 

came into or,rr lives, for six months she filled us with the usual pleasure and rapture that 

these little babies give so naturally, but then we discovered the problem that was to 

blight her life - a serious heart condition. 

Thereafter. life with Liza seerned to be an endless ordeal of visits to Angela Bodey, 

firstly in Ripon and then Leeds and the daily doling out of tablets. However, despite 

her corrdition she enjoyed nearly five years of a full life with us. Whilst she joined the 

"bed potato squad" irr the back of the house, in the last year or two she was always 

pleased to see you, very affectionate and. given Frank's weekday absences in London, 

my constant bedfellow. She was, above all else, a very gentle, beautiful, elegant and 

r.rnconrplaining lady. 

Maybe it was due to the heat of the sumnter but from the beginning of August she 

seenred to deteriorate. Visits to Angela confirmed that her heart was worsening and 

changes to her tnedication only seemed to make matters worse. In the early of hours of 

a Sunday morning, returning from Frank's brother's fiftieth, we found heron ourbed 

with her hearl racing - you could feel it like a stearn train pounding through her ribs. I 

administered rnorc bcta blockers which seemed to relieve the problem but I admitted to 

Frank on Mondirv rrronrirrs. rvhilc taking hirn to the station, that I had a bad feeling 

about her. l.jrrsl hoperl tlrrrt Angcla could wolk the rniracle when I took Liza back to

OUR FIRST COURSING MEETING 

A wet and windy molning in January, this year, 

was the day we had chosen to try coursing, 

with our rain hating Deerhound, Beardswood 

Lara or Tiggy as she is known at home. 

Tiggy' s breeders, Dr. Sarah Helps and Mrs 

Heather Helps, had suggested we bring her 

along with the added incentive, that her brother 

and sister, Beardswood Lua and Lorna would 

be thele as well. 

On our arrival, it took all our persuasive 

powers to coax our reluctant Deerhound out of 

the warmth of the car and join growing numbers 

of Deerhounds straining at the leash and 

becoming more excitable by the rninute... Tig 

was not impressed!! Once all had gathered and 

the judge had mounted herhorse, (l hadn't really expected that!) we set ofTacross tlrc 

field of what looked like cabbages. It was truly a spectacular sight, (hounds rror 

cabbages ! ) 

As the wind knocked us sideways and the clay collected on our boots. nry progrcss 

was further slowed by T'iggy dragging behind nre. giving a look of total clisbelicl'arrd 

disdain-the look that only a Deerhound can nruster. I looked at my husband. who rvas 

being pulled ever onward by an enthusiastic Lua, obviously in anticipation ol'r,r,hat 

was to come; my husband looked at nry plight with our relLrctant hound and raisccl his 

eyebrows back at me: This could be a very long day... ... ... 

We soldiered on, wondering how on earth we would frnd a hare with all the dogs arrcl 

people around, when suddenly the shout "hare right" went up and a hale shot across 

the field from just in fi'ont of us, soon followed by two hounds-we watched specclrlcss 

as they tore uphill and out of sight. We glanced at each other, the look on our faces 

said it all, this was fantastic! Our once reluctant hound was now leaping and realirrr.l 

to get free of her lead; well, she always was a quick learner! The next pair rvere in tlrc 

slips and I was away now being dragged up the hill. A f-ew rnole pairs ran and the re 

was a shoft delay, whilst a kamikaze hare ran fi'orn behind and throLlgh the line, orrc 

of the hounds escaped and chased it in cilcles. Once caught it was'l-ig's tuln. 

Suddenly. very nervous we put her in slips, Tiggy ran in a white collar, the other in 

red-we hoped that we would l'ind a hare very quickly. After what seenred an age. rvitlr 

no sign of a hale, we nrovcd into the next fleld. My husband and l, scanning rrraclly 

forhares. tlrcn sudclerrly. I was ncarly deaf-ened as my husband shoLrted "hare lefi". Ir

tloin the hill. We had a perfect view as they kept turning the hare downhill and carried 

run up the other side, the other bitch dropped back a little and the hare drew away. To 

oltr atnazentent, Tiggy changed gear and chased it up tlre other side and onto the brow 

,f the hill stoppingrt the very top. Thrilled, we held our breath for the.iudge to signal 

the wirrner of the heat...let it be white... WHITE was signalled-hoorah!!! Bursting 

rvith pride I ran to recall our brave girl'

Miss M.F. Loughrey (Rosstyn) *.'8rH?nx*;r?"101o,u*n rhe folowinp:- 

It is with very great reluctance 

that I record, for the many who 

liked Ch Tragic of Ross, the 

facts of his death. Exhibitors 

that know already that he died 

during the days ofour absence 

at the L.K.A., and now that we 

are at home again it is quite 

incredibly diffi culto believe 

that we will not see him 

anymore, and that he is not just 

around the back ofhis kennel 

run, or inside sleeping 

perhaps-at all events only out 

of site for the moment. to come 

trotting presently to his gait, 

jaunty, high headed, with that elegant action that is so impossible to forget. we lavc 

always been well aware that parting with Tragic would come hard when trrat 

inevitable day arrived, for we have travelled a good piece of the road together, and 

many an endearing landmark stand,q to his credit along the journey. perhaps his 

distemper days forged the.firstbond that gave his a di:fferent stanOing-to his fellows. 

He was so gallant then in his effort to live and fought so gamely throlugh the whole 

gamut of complications. Double pneumonia foilowed dyientery; for lb nights we 

never left him, and as a grand finale the curtain rang down with amaurois ind a rong 

period of total blindness followed. 

Dogs in general are remarkable for their trust and faith in their owners, but fi.onr that 

time onwards Tragic's believe in our omnipotence assumed all the finesse and 

distinction of a fine art. 

This confidence of his is the most painful to consider now in the light of subsequent 

events, for his who trusted so implicitly in his own people was, to ill intents and 

purposes, deserted by them in his hour of need. He died, not of poisoning as we 

surmised, but of acute distension, with alt its attendant agony. The trouble declared 

itself during the night, and arthough rragic was broughtio the house, given brandy 

and every care no one knew to administer the injection of apomorphia"that would havc 

saved his life. we are told that he turned earnestly from one sympathiser to another 

quite plainly asking for help, but those who couli have helpei him were not there. 

Death has come here once befbre in this same guise claiming ch osric rong ago, sincc 

then, in all the piled up weeks and months that go to the making of r7 years, .,basciris 

communis colli" has never reappeared. Fate chose the nroment-after rni departure, arr 

unguarded instant, to play his sorry trick and selecting Tragic for the victim, added arr 

ingenious picce of'cruclly 1'he Vetinerary surgeon *ho ru* the hound in the morning 

prrrr.rrrrced lrirr bcyorrcl aid. So passes ch rragic of Ross a name which will live 

lbrcvcl w,ltcrcvcr I )ccrhouncls so. 

36 

As a youngster he received 

an injury to his knee, which 

became more apparent with 

maturity. He was not 

exhibited much attending in 

all some dozen shows, at 

which he gained 6 

Clral lerrge Certifi cates and 

four reserves for that 

honour. But it is as a sire 

that Charnpion Tragic is 

memorable. Paucity of 

material has reached an 

acute stage when Tragic 

made his appearance in the 

Deerhound world, and he 

was freely used, with what 

success one has only to 

look at the kennel club records to see. 

Each dnd all ofus have reason to be grateful to him forthe pleasure he has givcn in his 

beautiful progeny and when each and all of us are long forgotten, the brcccl will still 

carry the hallmark of this dominant sire. 

This article was given lo us by Jean Bland/brd who thought it would he intere,sting lo 

the members. It is worth noting thal an "injection of apomorphia" is no longer the 

current lrealment for lorsion. Ed.

HOUN DSHOW 2003 Critique 

The Hound Show held at the Stafford County Fairgrounds is one of tlre rnorc 

attractive venues at which I have judged. lt can easily be placed on a par with the 

"old" Santa Barbara, California site or our Montgomery (Pennsylvania) show (the 

terrier show outside of Philadelphia), as well as many of the other top Anrerican shou 

sites. 

The hospitality of the club members is equal to any in the States and is to be 

commended. I felt very much at home, but then they are hound people. 

Although the weather was absolutely superb with hardly a cloud in the sky 

(gratefully, the heat wave had not yet struck), it was with a bit of sadness that I 

entered the ring not to have Miss Noble at ringside. We were very fond of her in the 

States, and were fortunate to have had her share her enjoyment oflife and Deerhounds 

with us. Atourbreed show, herabsence is very noticeable; it was even on this lovely 

day. 

The entry was fairly large and a compliment not only to the younger members 

of the Deerhound Club but the health of the breed. As in America, there is always a lot 

of clucking about actual quality and 'type', whether or not the current crop of breeders 

are on the right track or have lost sight of the breed. Faults come and go often with 

newer exhibitors and breeders not being totally aware of the ebb and flow of these 

faults within the breed and not being alert to these problems. For example, I remember 

years ago Miss Noble cornmenting that ring tails come and go in cycles. This was at a 

time in the Seventies when the breed in Britain appeared to be relatively free of ring 

tails while at the same time were more prevalent in the States. Not much later in the 

early Eighties, Deerhounds in Britain had decided to grow a significant number of ling 

tails. At the Hound Show, I did not notice a very great number, in fact, there were 

relatively few. 

What did seem to be more prevalent, although by no means predominant, were 

some fairly poor toplines. This is disappointing, in that outline and topline have 

always been better than in the States. There seems to be the tendency towards rather 

flat backs with lack of underline. This creates a tubular effect that is not only 

unattractive but poor type. It denotes lack ofchest and short upper anns. This is a fault 

that is all too prevalent in the States. Perhaps it isjust a cycle. 

The bulk of the entry had fairly good nrovement with some examples having 

very lovely reach or extension. Those exarrples that brushed or moved weakly in the 

hindquarters were not so much structurally unsound, although there were some of 

those, as just in poor condition. Actually, I was really pleased to go over quite a lot ol' 

sturdy, wellconditioned hounds. In fact, the overall range in movement was pretty 

good. Now, I know that there are those who feel that keen spirit overcornes a poorly 

constructed hound (l have often heard it said that a keen spirit overcomes 

'bad feet'.) 

but, frankly, it really helps to be able to keep up with a stag. Accordingly, there 

is no excuse for a deerhound not covering the most amount of ground with the least 

expenditure of energy. So, despite a keen aftitude, economy of movement and good 

movement is necessary to "type" - the age-old argument! The bulk of the exhibits hatl 

good thick tltighs and were well let down in the hock. Sadly, we ale lacking both thost' 

attributes in tlre States. l'here scenred to be very many good, thickly coated tails 

44 

(not too many gay tails), many of the exhibits had good density of bone. I was particularly 

pleised to see nlany good ears, small and folded nicely. I would have liked 

to see a bit more back-skull on some exhibits. While this is not critical, it is important 

to remember that the deerhound head is not a Wolfhound head. I did see many 

good examples of head type with very many examples that had proper level planes 

[which allows the most punishing bite). Eyes were by in large fairly dark, although 

there were several examples that had some rather light eyes. 

what was par.ticularly appealing was the fact that there were many more 

dark, harsh coats with the proper length of coat. I am somewhat prejudiced towards 

a darker coat as lny most favourite Deerhound was Justina of Ardkinglas. She only 

got two CC's but should have been made up. She had a classic head and was a ferocious 

courser. 

On balance. I was very please with the range of exhibits. There were some 

really excellent examples with proper Deerhound type. All in all, the breed is fine 

shape and the exhibitors ought to be conrmended. Now as to actual placements: 

Puppy Dog 'i+St, 

L) filtoeter Grilse: This youngster has very nice bone, good feet'

While the dogs were a bit more uneven in quality and did not have the depth in lhe 

ranks, there are some very rrice exanrples of type being shown. The better dogs irr 

these classes fi'ankly are the equal of the bitches, regrettably there are not lnore. 

Puppy Bitch 

I . ) l.l4(r, Tartraven Vula Mor: This is an easy moving youngster with a good 

bload sterrr and lovely spring of rib. Best PLtppy. 

2 ) 1321 . Greyflax Guinevere: This bitch with a nice sweep of stifle also moves 

cluite nicely. has a lovely dark color and outline. 

3.) 1381. Pyefleet Polkadot. 

Junior Bitch 

l.) 1343, Cusidh Cool Ratharsaidh: Here is anotherexample of an harsh, dark 

coat. A nice type, this bitch has a lovely outline and sweep of stifle. 

2.) 1426, Kilbourne Etta: This bitch has a good length of back, moved easily 

with good extension. She needs a bit more topline. 

3.) 1396, Saintvalery Anticipation. 

Special Yearling Bitch 

l.) 1373, Glenfoyble Fernitickles: Here is an example of a very solid, sound 

bitch with good bone and a lovely topline. 

2.) 1415, Kilbourne Sioux: Like tlre first place. this bitch rnovecl cluite niccly has 

a proper spring of rib and is in very good condition. 

3.) 1344. Cusidh Dain du Ehrhir. 

Special Beginners Bitch 

| .) 1388, Arrmialchu Beinn Bheula: This was one of rny choiceS lbr head and 

expression. She has a strong neck, well set, lovely sweep of stifle, thickly coated tail. 

and she nroved well from the side. 

2.) 1397, Saintvalery Hope: Another example with a good, harsh coat. This 

bitch lras correct leach and is very fit! 

3.) 1356, Breesfalt Fernie. 

Post Graduate Bitch This bitch class has great depth. lt was simultaneously a very 

hard and easy class tojudge. 

| .) 1341, Killoeter Caileag: This bitch is absolutely lovely. She has a very good 

sweep of stifle and is well let down in lrock, good tail and tail set. With a proper set on 

neck, very strong, her expression is very correct. CC/BOB/Best Bred By.Best Under 3. 

2.) 1382, Pyefleet Oriel; An equally stylish bitch with very lovely ears. An easy 

mover in fine corrdition. A strong, strong second. 

3.) 1400, Beardswood Lorna. 

Limit Bitch 

l.) 1334, Flaunden Flora McDonald: Another holdover for head type with 

lovely expression and ears, this bitclt some might think a proper older style. Frankly, 

she is very proper in all lespects with a lovely underline and balance of bone and body 

and like the fir'st several placentents in the previous class the con'ect type in any age, 

fullstop! 

2.) 1439. Tal'traven a Chuillin: Again, het'e is an example of cot'rect underline, 

depth of chest and lovely expression. 3.) 1441, Kilbourne Tystie of Ghiltan. 

47

Open Bitch 

l.) 1445, Ashtonbrook Bramble: This bitch has correct balance of size to bone. 

She has good ears, feet and is a lovely mover. Reserve CC. 

2.) 1335, Ch. Flaunden Betty Burke: This bitch looked suspiciously like one 

from the previous class. She has very nice balance, depth of chest, a thickly coated tail 

properly set and lovely ears. Small wonder she and her sister won Best Brace. 

3.) 1384, Ch. Pyefleet Morven. 

Special Coursing Bitch 

l.) 1388, Please see Special Beginners. 

2.) 1384, Ch.Pyefleet Morven: As above, she placed high in the ribbons as she 

has good extension, depth ofchest and lovely ears. An overall correct type. 

3.) 1382: Pyefleet Oriel. 

The last several bitch classes were extremely good in depth of quality with 

some really outstanding examples. It made choosing the certificate for bitches quite a 

chore; my Post Graduate Bitch, Killoeter Caileag, earned and deserved the CC. She 

was Best of Breed and the dog, Beardswood Lua was awarded the Dog CC. He too is a 

fine example of a Deerhound and not to be taken lightly.

FORTUNA: SPAIN 

After a shambolic move from Wales to Spain we are 

now more or less settled here, "We" being my wife 

Delia and l, an eighteen rnonth Deerhound Dougal 

Alexander (Anmialchu Beinn Bynac x Regalflight 

Gauze), two twelve year old Siamese Cats. Brothers 

Solomon and Sebastian and one ancient seventeen 

year old Lurcher, Lily, once a champion, but now, 

like her owners, overweight, grey and arthritic! 

Our first problenr was getting a crate to fit 

Dougal that would be airline approved. Making it 

was no problem, but the snag was their rules say that 

the animal must have a specific amount of space over 

it's head height. Dougal is about thirty five inches to 

the shoulder and obviously a lot taller to the top of 

his head, so the crate ended up nearly four feet high, 

which we were told initially would not go through the planes cargo door. Eventually 

through an organisation called Trans-fur we found that Britannia could fit it into one of 

their planes and better still, they flew from Cardiff. Delia booked us all on the same 

plane, which was wonderful until it occurred to me that we hadn't sold the house yet!! 

Fortunately allwent well with the sale and thanks to the kindness of Cail& Kinr Lewis 

(fellow Deerhound owners) from Pontypridd, who boarded us and the two dogs (and 

even offered to keep Lily if we thought the move would be too much for her), we all 

departed safely from Cardiff to Alicante with us upstairs and the tribe down. 

The Rep was waiting for us at the airport to lead us to the house we had rented whilst 

completed the purchase of our new home, and Trans-fur's contact was waiting with a 

van to collect the animals, all seemed perfect. However, the plot then became 

completely unravelled. We trekked the considerable distance across to the car rental 

area in a ternperature of about 103 degrees only to find our car boxed in by two others 

from the same company and no representative to be found anywhere. Fortunately, 

someone who was going back to the hire desk told the Rep for us and came back with a 

promise of them being moved in 5 minutes. Half an hour later nothing had happened so 

a phone call was made to the desk, this brought profuse apologises and a prornise to 

come straight over. Another half an hour and still nothing. By now tenrpers were becoming 

a little frayed so Delia took off on the trek back to the desk, look out Rep!l Her 

Spanish is pretty good normally but when annoyed, fluent. I obviously did not hear or 

see the ensuing clash, but it seems that when the Rep saw her coming he made the mistake 

of pretending that he didn't understand English. What Delia said to hinr I don't 

know but it was obviously very effective because the cars were moved ("MUY 

RAPIDO"). 

However, we were late and very tired when we all arrived at the rented house. Afiel ir 

careful check around the fencingthe animals were released and all seemed well a_eairr 

All was indeed well until the day we were due to move to our new house. This was the 

time Sebastian clcciclcd to squeeze under the fence and disappear! We were frantic and 

searched fbl nriles but eventually we had to set off for our new home with heavv 

hearls. We leli telcphone numbers and notices but we both had a bad feeling ablut 

him. 

The next problenr to arise was the furniture, scheduled to arrive on 8th June, turned up 

on 3rd July, one day before our friends arrived to stay with us! Even worse, after we 

had nrade a poirrt of telling them we lived up a narrow country track, they arrived with 

a 28 ton articulated lorry. Eventually, the furniture was just dumped on a patch of 

rough ground about half a mile away and we had to trundle up and down collectine it 

bit by bit in ternperatures hovering around l04 degrees. We were exhausted when at 4 

o'clock we received a call from The San Anton Animal Hospital to say that a Siamese 

cat had been brought in and " could we come and see if it was ours?" We were 

desperate to go but could not leave our belongings on the waste ground. Spurred on by 

this, we redoubled our efforts and things were just dumped anywhere to get them in. 

Despite this, it was still l0 o'clock before we could rush of to the hospital, and 

midnight before we arrived. We were quite expecting to be disappointed but, wonder 

of wonders, it was Sebastian!! He was skeleton thin, hanging with ticks and his face 

was terribly swollen with some horrible infection. Pus was coming from his mouth. 

nose and ears and it quickly became apparent that he was totally blind. Poor creature. 

God only knows what he must have suffered in the four weeks he was missing. He was 

found near a church in Guardamar, about five miles from our rented house, uia to.trnarely 

for us. an old Spanish lady had taken pity on him and taken him into the animal 

hospital. 

The vet helped us to clean him up and gave him a massive anti-biotic injection, but she 

warned us to be prepared for him to die in the next twenty four hours. We were 

prepared forthis, but our hooligan of a Deerhound had different ideas, and we are 

convinced that he saved his life. The moment we arrived home he took charge of him 

and nursed hirn like an indulgent Mum. Lily ( who had raised both cats since their 

rnother died when they were five weeks old) refused to 

touch him, which made us even more certain that he 

was going to die. Dougal however took him off onto 

his own private mattress, licked him clean at regular 

intervals, slept with him between his paws and refused 

to leave hirn for days, We were frightened that he 

would catch the infection, but he insisted on cleaning 

Sebastian and keeping his face and nose clear. 

We were really amazed that such a teen-age thug, as 

he is at the moment, could be so loving and gentle to 

an anirnal in such distress. Whatever he did worked 

because Sebastian sloyly recovered, day by day, and 

is now able to walk again, has put weight on and 

regained a srnall amount of sight, though I don't think 

he will ever see properly again. It's interesting to note 

that although Dougal gives Solomon no regard, and 

has been known to step on him, he is always very

careful not to walk across in front of 

Sebastian and always picks his feet up 

very carefully and very high to step over 

him. 

All seems peace and quiet again now, 

with us and the tribe doing well. (except 

for another visit to fhe satne anirnal hospital 

for Dougal to have a grass spear 

removed from between his toes) He had 

to be tranquillised to do it as he fought 

like a tiger, with the two young vets, that 

tried to treat him. I think he had two 

attending vets because of his size. No 

particular comment was made but when the vet was called in to the surgery he said 

i.Jesu 

Christo" under his breath, then vanished and catne back with reinforcerrtents! 

Walking the dogs here is quite difficult, as it is not possible to go out rnuch after eight 

in the mlrning,io it has to be early walkies. Trust us to arrive in Spain dLrling the hottest 

summer on record with terrtperatures of 95 to | 00 degrees. Tlrele are plenty of 

good walks aroutrd as tlre coutrtryside is pretty open and wild where we are. Miles of 

i-"ron g.ou", but unfoftunately they are full of rabbits, pheasants and hares, so if the 

dogs were let loose in thern I don't suppose we would see thenr again fbr a foltnight' 

We aia let them off early one nrorning and Dougal prornptly vanished. ljow cau you 

lose somethingthe size of a Deerhound in open country? We found hitlt eventually, 

returning frorn a visit to a nearby Finca. Fortunately, being early, only the Abuela 

(Grandniother) was about and she flapped a towel at hir.rr and off he went. I dread to 

think of th. mayhem that would have ensued had he gone into the house, as nearly all 

the Spanish are terrified of big dogs, and will not go anywhere neal thern. Poor 

Dougal, he does so love everyone, but only a t'ew will touch him ol'even talk to him 

Lily has no such problems, as she is very similar to their Podenco hurrting dogs so no 

one minds her. I believe this stems from the time when Spain was a trruch poorer country 

and if you spent money to feed a big dog it had to be for a reasorl. TIre reason usuuily 

*ut tirat it was a savage guard dog and fionr childhood they learned to steer clear 

of big dogs. 

Leishmaniasis is a worry of course, but hopefully, living about forty ntiles inland fionr 

the costal belt we may avoid it. We maintairr a very rigid anti-mosquito and fly regirre 

so do feel we have a good chance of escaping it. We are looking forward to the Autumn 

and winter (not sornething we would say in Britain), as it doesn't seern as if it 

gets very cold here, although they did have snow on the mountains around us last year 

We can't wait to get out into that open countryside and turn thenl loose. 

We will write again of tlreir progress (and ouls) after Chlistmas, and although a littlc 

early, may we take this opportunity to offer our best wishes for the f-estive tinre to all 

deerhound owners. 

PS We loved the Summer Newsletter and look forward to the next olle.

Elmore Court Farm Walk (04110103) 

Sir John and Lady Cuise kindly invited us to kick off our season with a farnr 

walk around their estate. E,xcitenrent and expectations were high as people were cirger 

to 'get back out there' after the long sumnler break. The main concern was thc 

severe lack of rain, which did prevent us coursing on some of the land. 

A number of rnembers had stayed at Elmore Court the night before, including 

Katrin Hubert, who had brought her two hounds all the way from Switzerland!! A 

first for coursing! She had come over with Toon Van Drunen who nrany of us know 

as the gentlernan who sells the lovely leatherwork at the Breed shows. | 'fixed'the 

card so that novice hounds ran with a more experienced one. We also ran thern on tlrc 

white collar so that they were next to the slipper. 

After coffee and introductions we set off to our first set of fields. Our slipper for the 

day was Wayne Drew and Andrew Chastney was our judge. These were mainly 

maize fields that had just been cut. We found a few hares but managed to only get 

one pair off. We then walked over several grass fields but it was not safe to release 

the hounds, as there were large cracks in the parched ground. This problern continued 

for the rest of the morning. We found another maize field that had hares on it but 

again there were large clacks in the soil so we decided that we would break for lunch 

and try the water meadows in the afternoon in the hope that there would be better' 

running ground. 

Lunch was a very civilised and leisurely affair on the front lawn of Elmore Court. 

The weather was sunny and mild and everyone relaxed in the sunshine. After lunclr 

we set off in the cars for the water rneadows. Here, we had much rnore luck and 

found a number of hares. Lady Guise's youngster Saintvalery Anticipation coursecl 

very well and carried on across a rolled field that was pretty rough under foot. I tlrirrk 

wiser hounds nray have pulled up! This was Wayne's slip of the day! 

64 

A hare had been spotted in the neighbouring field and we watched it come our way and 

nip across a land bridge into the next field. Wayne was watching it the whole time and 

took the hounds down into the ditch as the lrare came towards hirn. He pulled the dogs 

up out of the ditch, made sure they were sighted and then slipped them afterthe hare! | 

tliink most onlookers were impressed by this manoeuvre! There was a very good, close 

course between Katrin's Amy Bew and Smith's Estrella, they coursed the hare along 

but rnost of the novice hounds managed to have a run. 

It was then back to Eltnore Court for tea. Well, what a spread! Superb hospitality and a 

welcorne cup of tea (or two) after all our walking. lt was great to see everybody having 

a chat afterwards as we nortnally all disappear off horne straight after a meeting. 

We had a great day, even if the 

ground was really too hard to run 

in most places, it gave us a chance 

to give our dogs a good walk and 

get the youngsters used to being 

in the slips.

Lodge Park 

Lure Coursing Meeting 05/10/03 

The National Trust contacted the Deerhound Club, a while ago, and asked them if it 

was possible to put a lure coursing event on at Lodge Park. Great idea!! Everybody lurtl 

a fantastic day and I'm sure that everyone who attended would agree that it was a gfcll 

success. This was mainly due to Gill and Toby Srnith's hard work organising 

everything and Patrick from the National Trust who did much of the organisation at thc 

Park. So what is Lodge Park? Some of you might be wondering so here's a potted 

history lesson! Lodge Park is in Gloucestershire part of the Sherborne Estate, just otf 

the A40, near Burford. lt was designed and built to be a deer coursirrg Lodge. ln the 

| 630's John 'Crump' Dutton a wealthy squire, with a passion for gambling, created thc 

Lodge. The house itself was designed as a viewing platform so that coursing could be 

observed from the roof or from the balcony at the front of the building. The style of 

Lodge was modelled on Inigo Jones's new banqueting house in London that Dutton 

had seen. The Lodge was not built to be lived in but was specifically designed for 

entertaining his guests with good sport and fine fbod. There is a mile long walled 

enclosure down which the deer would run, with a park and wood at the top, frorrr 

which the deer were driven. The original hounds that ran were of a greyhound type and 

were called talbots, but the hounds would have had more stamina than a rrrodern greyhound, 

as they would have chased the deer over a mile long course. 

It would not have been run on a stake system, like modern coursing meetings, but 

individual wagers between men and their pair of hounds. The gamekeeper slipped the 

hounds. There were two types of course, a'breathing'course which would cost half a 

crown a dog, with twelve pence going to the slipper. The winner would be the first 

over the pinching post that was just beyond the first ditch. The second ditch, which 

was much larger, then separated the hounds fi'om the deer. tf any rnatch were lrrade of 

twenty pounds a dog (large amount of money!) then they would have a 'fleshing' 

course where dogs would be slipped on a shorter law to enable the hounds to strike a 

deer, ideally in front of the grandstand. The winning hound of this type of course 

would be the first dog to take hold of the deer. The park was fully operational in 1634. 

It was used as a deer coursing Lodge for 

less than a century as it was superseded by 

racing and fox hunting. 

OK, back to the day! The National Trust 

asked if we could come in period costume. 

We managed to borrow some outfits frorn a 

Sealed Knot couple so we were authentically 

dressed! | looked like a proper puritan 

maid! lt was lovely to see that so many 

members made the effort to dress up for the 

occasion and didn't we look a rnasnificent sight? lt was super to see everyone parading 

66 

lunch and then took a break.

park. The local paper interviewed Katrin Hubert, from Switzerland, as this is the first 

time Deerhounds have been brought over for anything like this. They have only been 

entered into shows previously. Katrin had a fantastic day as Amy Bew got through to 

the semi-finals. Both her dogs had been tired from their exploits, hare coursing, the 

day before. So I would imagine that the pair of them slept exceedingly well on their 

long journey back to Switzerland. What stories they would have to tell their kennel 

mates when they reached home! 

There was another chance to parade after lunch and then it was straight back into the 

coursing. Slipping was made a bit easier in the afternoon as the more enthusiastic 

hounds were left in the stake. There were some extremely keen ones still in with a 

chance. Wayne had his work cut out as the hounds were so eager that when you put 

them in slips they were straining, raring to go and became two hundred pounds of 

sheer power! As the rounds progressed, the coursing improved immensely as we were 

down to very keen, fast dogs and it made it much more entertaining for the spectators. 

The front runners were Hubert's Amy Bew who had lure coursed before and ran very 

keenly, Coe's Dreamseller (Peggotty), a bitch that ran out a clear winner each time in 

the early rounds. She made it through to the final. Churchill's lsauld (Dove), that flew 

Iike the wind and ran out the eventual winner beating Peggotty, by a couple of 

lengths. There was aprize giving at the end of the day and Mary Churchill was 

presented with an engraved glass plate by Joan Wragg (Lady Huntworth!) and the 

runner up Malcolm Coe also received one. Throughout the day hundreds of pictures 

were taken so the events would be recorded for life as it was certainly a very 

memorable day. Apparently, there were approximately 800 people through the gate, 

so it was also a very successful day for the National Trust and maybe there will be a 

repeat performance next year!

( )rrcc agairr this limited show was held at 

llrrrt lirst class venue, The Canine Academy, 

Iollcrton, Nottingharn, and again we were 

lrlcsscd with excellent weather for late Septcrrrber. 

Our thanks to Sue Finnett & Hector 

l lcathcote, Show Secretary and Show 

Marrager respectively for organising this 

slrow. Our congratulations also to their 

tlauglrter, Natalie, who celebrated her 

scventh birthday on the day ofthe show and 

Iooked delishtful as she showed Sue's dos 

rcceivins a well deserved round of 

WISH YOU WERE HERE 

applause. 

'l'he 

large turn out by Members was indicative of the value that we place ou 

this type of slrow, enabling those wlro don't normally get to shows an 

opportunity to exhibit their dog and talk to fellow Club Mernbers. There was a 

relaxed atnrosplrere throughout the show ground, even tlre coming and going 

of aircraft from the nearby airfield failed to disturb the hounds. 

Delighted to see Sue Piggott in tlre ring with Hyndsight lcon following her 

recent spell in hospital; talking of "hospitals" it was also good to see our 

editor, Glenis Peach, at tlre ringside, albeit in a wheel chair following surgery 

to lrer foot, slre is recovering now but not patiently! We did however miss 

Caroline Dowsett at the slrow, Caroliue lras had a spell of ill health & we send 

her our good wishes for a speedy recovery. 

A total of 108 Deerhounds had been entered in tlre l8 classes, dogclasses 

(l-8) were judged by Mrs Lesley Sperrce, bitch classes (9-16) by Mrs Joyce 

llrrnd and the "special" classes (11 &. I 8) by Mr Jeff Horswell who was also 

thc referee. 

llrc BIS winner by agreement between Lesley & Joyce was Heather & Sarah 

llclps' Beardswood Lorna, Jeff was called to decide RBIS between Sue's 

lcorr (BD) & our Gentom Jeannie (RBB) and we were delighted that lre clrose 

.lcarrnie as RBIS, we would not have been that disappointed however, if he 

Irirtl chosen lcon, as he was the dog which we had choserr to mate to Jeannie 

rrrrtl wlro has produced a lovely litter of puppies. We wor"lld therefore have 

hccrr pleased whichever dog won. Results & photographs follow.

llrc l)eerhound Club held their Limited Show on Saturday 27 September, at The 

('urrinc Academy, Tollerton, Nottingham. The venue is easily found and has good 

lircilities. The weather was good; the Show Manager Hector Heathcote erected two 

guzcbos giving some shade. I had a good entry from the dogs but noticed some light 

cycs spoiling the head and expression, I would like to thank the comrnittee, and the 

cxlribitors for the pleasure of going over their dogs, a real treat.

I was very pleased to be asked to judge bitches at the Deerhound Club Limited Show 

on the 27th September 2003. 

'fhere 

were some lovely bitches to go over and I was pleased with my winners and 

placings. However I did notice some poor hind quarters, lacking in bone, too high on 

the hock and moving very close. Not what is expected of a breed that was bred to run 

uphill, over rough terrain. There was also a lack of coat. A few exhibits had been 

over stripped and some coats were actually broken. The breed standard does ask for 

three to four inches ofcoat. I hope that fashion in the show ring does not prevail over 

the desired coat lensth.

2nd Rhodes Gentom Jeannie. 

Another most beautiful of bitches. This is what Deerhounds are all about, combining 

elegance with strength. To be commanding with gentleness. My two winners in this 

class both had stacks of it. lt is a special something that is very hard to define. I have 

often seen it on a thoroughbred stallion. Jeannie had the most luxuriant coat in excellent 

condition. A classic head and for me the best of the day. She had a curvy outline 

with a good deep body. Correct lay of shoulder nice sweep from hip to hock. She 

held her topline on the move and moved with width behind which I would like to see 

more of in our breed, excellent second thigh. Very well handled. I was very pleased

Best ofBreed.

just as he should be. I found him very satisrying to go 

over and totally sound on the move. Lovely head, 

strong neck, long ribs with a strong arched loin, 

drooping quarters, excellent feet, correct coat. I just 

hope he fulfils all the promise he showed today. 

2nd Janson's Lady ofthe Lake 

Very close up on the winner, again she is young and 

ruw. but a lovely quality bitch. Lengthy neck but it can strengthen up a little. Good 

rhoulders, grand body, correct topline good coat and moves well. 

Jrd Carr's Kilbourne Seneca of Marandike Much more mature than those above 

hcr, I liked her very much. Good legs and feet, has a good topline I would just like a 

liaction more angulation in the

cxcellent topline.

CHRIS ARTHUR CONTEMPLATES VARIOUS III'MIiI)IIiS FOR 

LONELINESS........... and recalls a small book, Siamcsc cats, the shoe box, 

Celtic joie de vie, die valkerie arrd scrcndipity. 

The Observer's Series of books was first published by Wirrrrc's around 1948, 

and by the 60's had expanded to a range of 50 linle volurnes all copiously illustrated 

with photographs and line drawings, and dealing with sLrb.iects as diverse as birds, 

horses, wildflowers, pond life, furniture, aircraft and churches. Oul canirre copy was 

plinted in 1964, maybe they are still in publication? 

So to begin, in the general direction of, our beginning.... 

When Lynn and I met there was an intelligent, streetwise Toby the rnongrel, 

who used to take himself for walks in central London, crossing the main road to the 

park on his own (using the pedestrian crossing), he'd wait patiently until the traffic had 

stopped or the road was clear. Originally a "rescue job" and so named 

'cos he looked 

like Mr Punch's dog; he lived with us on a sort of temporary permanent loan but 

wisely returned to his previous (post rescue) owner. 

After his departure I was told that the Siamese cats were lonely without a dog in 

the house. In consequence, Sasha, the enchantingly beautiful, extraordinarily energetic, 

mad as a hatter, guilt ridden lrish Setter, leapt into our lives from an ad in the evening 

paper; because he needed a good horne. We were your average pet owners and boy 

were we a good home! Possibly because he was SO enthusiastic seerned very large 

after his predecessor. His predilection for running in ever decrqasing circles caused LJS 

considerable stress. On these occasions his controllable deafness would switch in with 

great precision and render him oblivious to the increasingly desperate screams of his 

fast receding owners. 

It was put to me that this was probably because he was lonely and NEEDED a 

friend, another dog for company and then he would be MTJCH quieter. I diplomatically 

expressed the opinion that it shouldn't be another big dog and in doing so mornentarily 

showed a fatal weakness. Almost immediately Lily the Standard Smooth Haired 

Dachshund arrived. 

She also was lonely, she was the puppy sitting in the water bowl ion the corner 

of the cage whilst the rest of the litter played happily at, what with hindsight rnust have 

been a puppy farm, she NEEDED a good horne. 

This dirninutive scrap rapidly put both the cats and the setter firrrrly in their 

place. She was the boss. Unsurprisingly the Setter changed not one wit and continued 

blithely to attempt to run into earth orbit. Lily hated men except me. lf we were being 

polite we would say she wasn't very partisan ( in other words she was.just plain aggressive) 

to ANYONE and ANYTHINC that was not family. Having said that, Lily 

did have a lively sense of humour. She had a passion fbr diving dolphin-like into fox or 

swan droppings, when her neck was sufficiently gilded she woLrld leap into the arnts of 

her nearest hurnan for an affectionate cuddle. 

94 

lkrth Setter and Dachshund lived to a good age. A few weeks after Sasha's 

, \('ntuirl dernise, Lynn said to me that whilst Lily was very "sporting" (see partisan), 

I rlr rrirs gctting on a bit and she would feel safer with a large dog around the house. 

llr this tirrrc I had learnt. lt had taken a few years but I had LEARNT! Another dog 

\\ \S qoins to arrive, and I was being given the opportunity to have SOME say in the 

rrr,rllet 

Accoldingly ltook The Observers Book of Dogs from the shelf and cruised 

..rrt'lullr through the bleeds. Mmmm.... I wouldn't be seen dead with one of those, 

rh,r\(' \itl) all the time, they're too small, they need a lot of grooming, they show their 

f r,ffrrlf r\. thcy're too big, I came to the Deerhound,27" to 30" tall ... biggish but does- 

,r | ,roun(l too big, quiet, noble etc could be OK. I replaced the book and forgot all. A 

, ,r1ry11. ol'rvccks later Lynn took the book and went through it. SHE also stopped at the 

| \'r'rlrorrrrd page. I realised that this had to be "MEANT"; in any healthy long term 

.r l,rnrln\lrip llre nurnber of times both parties INDEPENDENTLY arrive at the same 

,.'lr lrrriorl rvithoLrt prior communication can be rare. This makes them rather special 

rlrl the r slrould be ignored at one's peril. At the time I was aware that a relative of 

I rnn'\ livirrg irr Carlisle once owned Deerhounds and that Lynn had met the breed in 

lr r r hrhllrootl. arrd it subsequently emerged that in her teens Lynn had worked for a 

t.rx' rr\ ir I'crrncl rnaid for a Mr Joe Braddon, (but that was awhile ago); so she had 

rrrx. lr,rt kuround in dogs. 

t )rr tlrc othcr hand I was nothing but your bog standard archetypal pet owner. 

\urr'l\ rrlrt'rr \tlrr wanted a pet you looked in the pets column of the local paper, or 

.rr rrt tl ,t l)('t \hol). ll'it was a bit special and a real pedigree then you looked in the 

-...,r11 .rrl.. ol lltc Sunclay Times. Not surprisingly I drew a blank. Look elsewhere, eve- 

..rt,'rl' un(lcr tllc sun is advertised in the Exchange and Mart, fish eagles, anacondas, 

r, ..,,,r r\\ ls ;rntl tarantulas but no Deerhounds. Puzzling for the lajrman. 

95

l Lynn 

rernembered that there used to be a special papcl cirllccl "Our Dogs", I 

said with ridiculous Victorian sounding title like that it had probably vanished long 

ago. Certainly I had neverseen itatthe newsagents. Did thcsc clogs still exist? 

Persistence paid off and eventually afterseveral trips to a cou;rlc ol'rcl-crerrce libraries, 

I found a listing for The Deerhound Club secretary, Dr Phyllis l)oync'r Wall, and her 

address. 

I telephoned and said, " Hello I'nr tlrinking of buying a [)eerhound, wltere can I 

get one?" She was charrn herself and after quietly questioning nre told nte tltere were 

no puppies about at the moment and suggested I call in three Irtonths tirle. lJnknown to 

us, we were beginning "the test" what a very sensible procedtrle. I callecl at the due 

date, Dr Poyner Wall, regretted thatthere were stillno puppies arottnd. but strggested 

that if we ever found ourselves to be travelling in the direction of Bradlbrd-olr-Avotr, 

why not drop in for a cup of tea and meet her hourrds. 

Yes please! Try and stop us! 

On the appointed day we rang the bell at nurnber seven, Glen View, the door 

opened and Clrampion Riabhach of lona of Melchior (Roobarb to his fi'iends) quietly 

stepped out, and without jurnping placed his paws on rny shoulders and looked rne 

straight in the eye. I was captivated! After meeting the hounds and takirrg tea, Dr 

Poyner Wall said thatthere were still no puppies available. But if we were passirrgthat 

way again, she would love to meet our Dachshund. This was arranged, to otrr surprise 

Lily behaved decorously, we took tea, met the dogs again. There was no news of any 

pups and we went on our way. 

Three rnonths later we received a call from her, one of her bitches had just had a 

litter, and there might, just might, be a puppy for us. lF we were still interested. She 

made it very clear that we would not be able to choose (there was a great deal of sense 

in this because we really wouldn't have known what to look for!). 

Which is how twenty sornething years ago we came into Deerhounds. Phyllis 

asked if we wanted to show. As comparative innocents, who had been brainwashed by 

the media, we had the impression that everything in the show ring was highly show 

trained, transporled in cages, coiffured, prirnped and lacquered, so we thanked her 

kindly and said no thank you, we didn't really think it was our scene. We.itrst wanted a 

normal dog, a pet. Thus we becatne owners of our first Deerhound puppy. 

'l-he 

Phyllis kept in close contact to suppoft and monitor our progress. ledoubtable 

Lily eventually moved on to the great running ground in the sky and I was told 

that (GUESS WHAT) our lovely young Deerhound was lonely witltout one ol-his own 

kind. Miss Cox was prevailed upon to part with one of her show quality puppies. Sone 

tirne later we received a call to say that there was a little local show at Chippcnharn 

Corn Exchange and all the litter brothers and sisters would be there. woLrldrr't it be rrice 

to see thern all together? Of course it wouldl Never having entered a "rcal" dog show 

before, and second entries being so much cheaper than the first. we crrtcrccl three of 

four classes with each. To our absolute anrazement we callre away rvilh a buttclt of 

varied coloured rosettes and began to look upon ouryoungsters irr a rrcw light. 

We entered a few more shows and under the careful tuition ol'thc lrvo breeders 

thus began our long and continuous learning curve. Deerhounds lravc irrtrodrrccd us to

News from Scotland 

Show news is a bit thin on the ground, 

apart from August SKC, where newlycrowned 

Jean Blandford's Ch. Flaunden 

Flora MacDonald went BOB and took 

fourth place in a very strong hound group. 

The dog ticket went to Mick and Glenis 

Peach's Pendrethan MacCallan and 

reserves to their Kilbourne Etta and 

Angela Randall's Ch Kilbourne Celtic at 

Hammonds. Best puppy (to rny delight) 

was my 'Gang of One' , Lyart Lyra 

Belacqua. For once the show had excellent 

weather. SKC can be rniserable when it's raining and blowing a gale, bul when the 

sun shines, it's a pleasure to watch the groups from the banking rather than 

huddling under the BIS ring tent. 

The Scottish Pedigree whippet Racing club held their annual open day fbr orher 

breeds on the 14"'of September'. This event is completely unmissable as far as I'rn 

concerned. Again, the weather held and we had a reasonable tLrrnout of six 

Deerhounds running in two heats of three. Heat winners were Marjory McKinnon's 

Moireach Flyer at Fingon (Midgie) and Nell caine's Killoeter caileag. My girls were 

both second in their heats and Stranwith Handsel and Tartraven Stoura Stac were 

third in theirs. (Handsel was far more interested in checking out the girls than in 

chasing plastic and Stoura didn't quite see the point.) Midgie revealed a hitherto 

unsuspected talent for constructive interference and bowled Ruin over with a wellplaced 

shoulder charge, then tripped up andjoined her on the deck. However. both of 

them leapt up and ran on after the lure with Midgie getting there first. Lyra being a 

pnppy had never been racing before but got the idea straight away thanks to caileag 

lrurtling off in fi'ont of her and thoroughly enjoyed herself. Nell had to lcave early in 

order to see to dogs at home, so Lyra and Ruin were drafted in for the final r-un 

against Midgie. Midgie went off like a rocket, but cut across the bend in the track in 

her determination to get to the lure and was technically disqualified, not lhat she cared 

a button. My two went off neck and neck in quite an exciting run, but Lyra _qot her 

nose in front at the end for an official win, although everybody got prizes. l-he food 

at the SPWRC is always wonderful and this year was no exception - our gratefll 

thanks to the Whippet people for their kind hospitality. 

Two of our older Deerhounds have recently died. Marjory McKinnon save a home to 

Ardkinglas Yatzi after Miss Noble's death and Yatzi settled in inrrnediately with the 

Fingons and began her long-planned carnpaign of world dorrrination. The ord Bat 

seemed indestructible, but died in the middle of September followine sLrrgely fbr 

torsion. She would have been ten in october and was dearly loved. Miss Nobre 

didn't show her often, but she began a whole new career with Mar-ioly and was 

98 

rronrl in vcteran at the Houndshow under Jay Phinizy in August tlris year. I had the 

I'bcrrre ol'piloting her that day and she behaved beautifully fbr rne, storming round

CATHY'S NORTHERN NEWS 

BLACKPOOL 2116/2003 JUDCE: Zola Rawson 

The only northern wins were Jean and Robin's 

"(ientom Lorcan at Talgaver" wirrrring the G.D. ancl 

my own "Rat,ensbridge Oscars Br.1r" w;nnln* rn" 

Veteran Dog class. Everyone went back to Robin and 

Jean Spencer's for a BBQ. I did hear that a good time 

was had by all. A ceftain two ladies t do believe fell 

asleep in the conservatory and were doing better than 

any "fly catchers". (Wish I had been there with my 

canrera). 

LEEDS 2717/2003 JUDGE Miss J Lannine. 

We allthought we were going to be.judged by Jtrne Minns only to flnd when we got 

there it was Jean Lanning. The secretary said it had been advertised in both dog papers 

but I could find nothing about a change ofjudge. Even on reading the critiques the 

judge (30/08/03) didn't even know what had happened, excepted that we do have June 

Minns next year. (2004). 

BOLTON TOWN SHOW JUDGE: Mrs L. Smith-Fenton. 

This is my focal show, I think it is brilliant. My young tnan Ruvcnsl'tridgc pure Mugic

P.Grad, Dad Rossh,n Kerne ql Ravenshridge was too exhausted after the Wales trip the 

day before (typical man)... 

SCOTTISH KENNEL CLUB JUDGE: Mrs M. McBride 

I had a very enjoyable SKC this year travelling up on the Saturday and staying with 

Nell over night. A few G & T's, a very enjoyable rneal with some very good cornpany. 

good wine, who can beat that; thank you Nell. 

The only Northern win was Ravensbridge Pure Maeic who won his puppy class even 

though he was a hoof igan in the ring. But rnany congratulatiot'rsto Ch Flaunden Flora 

McDonald who won Limit Bitch and then took the BCC, BoB and c4. well done! 

we allenjoyed the glass of champagne and snacks provided by Jean aftel the show. 

This brought back fond memories of when I first started showing in the early 80's and 

the SKC picnic. lt is a pity they fellaway. could we not revive thenr? lt is always good 

for us all to get together, I don't think we do it often enough, I know that I have made 

some good friends over the years but with the hustle and bustle of life we ruslr to 

shows and then rush away whereas a picnic or gathering would be tlre excuse needed 

to stay for a while and say hello. 

My grandson and future vet started at Liverpool tJniversity two weeks age. He had had 

Karen and myself running round like headless chickens, buying this arrcl that. Clothes. 

hair accoutrernents (i.e. straighteners, brushes, gel), plus stul'l'to lllishtcrr lris loont at 

the residence. But the day catne when he was finally leaving lhc rrcst arrcl we packed 

both cars and I had the proud position of Cran being driven clorvn to l.ivcrpool by her 

beloved Grandson. We eventually got hirn settled in and had a rvarrtlcr lorrrrcl. Student 

bars, all doubles f,2, snooker roorlls, TV roonrs. music roonrs cvcr'\ rvhirrr sccnred to be 

catered for. We were leaving our boy in these strange surnrundirrgs irrrtl orrc look at

*rl rrt. le.lt lris strong anns around us and knew he understood the soppy wolnen ill his 

r.b llrrl thilt was a fortnight ago and now we know he's flne. He actually came hotne 

s, r.'(' il\ lirr two hours last Saturday, dumping washing and picking up fresh stuff, 

,rrr1hlfi us with tales of Fresher Fairs, dinners with tutors and obviously having a 

e lrrrlt' rrl l tirne. 

t " t \tohcr 2003. I had been invited to judge the final of the Wolflround Lure 

I fiff \f ng, at Eccleshall, near Stafford. Just a t/ohour drive frorn us so a leisurely 

lunrlir\ outittg. We took Tip and Bruce with us as I decided a rowdy hooligan puppy 

rrr lrcilcl with me. Creating havoc in the house, phones, remote controls, newspapers 

rtr ru( bccoming his favourite toys and as for Tip, well she just loves to chase anyrhrng 

irntl especially to kill lures and not to tnention the fact that she could outdo a 

tlolllrortnd easily!. After a fiosty start it turned out to be an excellent day and we got 

,lrrrrr lhcre to a small excited crowd. 

I rrrrrrl say the Wolfhound people are really nice and welcoming. We have found this 

,rl r.rcr'! occasion that we have met them and today was to prove no exception. After 

trro vct'y warnt cups of coffee and having given Tip a chance to show what she was 

rrr,rtlc ol-with the lure the main event began; yours truly in the centre with her red and 

,rlrrtc paddles. We had Wolfles chasing the lure and Wolfies not even wanting to be 

lrotlrcrcd even looking at the lure but it was still a very jolly event with everyone 

lr,rr irrg a good laugh together. Just before the final, we had another break with soup' 

r,rrr.lrrliches and cakes washed down by lashings of good fi'esh coff-ee (kettles that plug 

rrrlo ciqarette lighters - I'rn ofTto Argos tomorrow). Also a raffle at which FJK even 

,,,,rr ir plize a bottle of wine and I got one for judging. After the flnal, we had the prize 

yrr irrg. A lovely dog collar with the nantes of every dog fiont, I think 1982, engraved 

,,rr rrrtlividual shields around the neck plus a lovely, again engraved, cup goingto the 

s nurcr', a shield yet again engraved with names to the runner Lrp, a trophy for best 

n,rricc ancl vetelan winner. The winner was also presented with a print of coursing 

\\ trlllrounds, I think by Gill Griffin. An invitatiott was also sent out by everyone to all 

l)eer'ltourrd people; conre arrd pafticipate. I will be keeping you all posted on dates' 

rrrrrt's irrrd places. We let a very agitated Tip have another few goes after everything

SOUTHERN SNIPPBTS 

by Joyce Bond 

Sad news from Peter Coull, his beloved 

Deerhound Darkglade Aaragon has 

died.25.09.03, Peter is devastated. Aarogan 

was Peter's first Deerhound and known to us 

all as 'Jake'. Jake brought Peter so much 

happiness. He was bought frorn Stacey 

Booth who bred him. (Regal Flight Sedge x 

Ardneish Edwina,) purely as a companion, 

but Peter was persuaded to take hirn to a 

show and then he was hooked. Jake did well 

in the ring and though not a top winner was 

always well placed. Jake really came into his own when Peter decided to take hirn onto 

the coursing field, Jake adored the coursing scene. Once he was on the hare he never 

knew when to stop. He ran for rniles, always with Peter in hot pursuit. Peter would 

nranaged to catch him and bring him backjust as he was needed back in slips 

again. There is no wonder that Peter looks so fit! We shall all rniss dear old Jake on 

the coursing field, he gave us so much entertaintnent. A lovely boy, who broLrght so 

much pleasure. 

Monica and Steve Cibbs, fiom the [J.S.A., have recently moved into Milton, a village 

close to where I live. They have brought over their three American Chatnpion 

Deerhounds. Their flrst Deerhound was Acier Ophealia by Ch. Rosslyn Dirk of 

Shagiead x Dufault Dawn Rose. The hounds they have brought with thern are honre 

bred Jaraluv Silver Charrn, she is six and a half years old, a nice dark bitch. Jaraluv 

Kassandra who is a multiple group winner, she is four and a half years old and very 

much like Charm. The third is a very nice, fourteen rnonth old dog Jaraluv 

Maxwell and definitely one to watch out fbr. This is a third stay in the tJ.K. for 

Monica and Steve. They are signing up to becorne members of the Deerlround Club 

and looking forward to conrpeting in this country, nraking their debut at'l'he llound 

Club of East Anglia in November. Good luck to thern. Monica exerciscs her hounds 

quite close to her horre on the banks of the river Carn. She is enioying the Ilritish 

countryside. Monica tells me that she saw her first deerlround in Texas as a child and 

had wanted one from then. When she was in tlris country, in 1993. thcy wcrc looking 

to buy a German Shepherd and by mistake she dialled a wrong nunrbcr ancl couldn't 

believe it when the lady that answered the phone was Doctol Poyncr Wall. the 

Deerhound Club secretary. Monica says that Dr. Poyner Wall r'r'as so lrclplirl. so 

instead of buying a Cerrnan Shepherd they bought a Deerhourrd! Stcvc irrrcl Monica 

are so excited to find that they can show at the 2004 Crufts slrorr. it is sorrrctlring they

Even rny computer cannot understand 

the words and underlines every one in red apart from Cardigan which seerns to 

be no problem and is a great relief when I've spelt out the address very slowly and 

carefuf ly to just about everyone in the world, or so it seems. It really is quite anazing 

how many people, service providers, government bodies, banks, insurance companies 

etc. etc. need to be notifled, the list seems never ending. The dogs were truly rnagnificent 

on rernoval day and put up with everything we tlrrew at them. The day dawned 

bright and clear and we all enjoyed our rnorning walk and they were then put in a srnall 

secure enclosure with no possibility of anyone accidentally letting thern out. This 

worked beautifully for about half an hour and then it stafted to rain and as you all 

know Deerhounds can get absolutely soaked when out walking and running but left to 

stand out in it ! oh no! they whined and whinged and looked as pathetic as only Deerhounds 

can. lt really was not torrential just a little light interrn ittent drizzle wh ich became 

absolutely unbearable after all of two nrinutes, we hurnans were not even wearing 

coats. Plan B was to put some of tlrem in the car and some of therrr in the van this 

seemed very acceptable to thern all, tlrey didn't even seem to rnind when we had to use 

the vehicles and drive them to and fro between tlre new and old properties, anything 

but get wet! Of course removals being what they are, never quite go to plan and our 

removal van arrived at Preswylfa only to find that the existing owners renroval firm 

was abouttwo hours behind schedule. I was getting really concelned that tinre was 

getting on and there still seemed no prospect ofgetting the dogs out ol-their respective 

vehicles, howeverthere really was no need to worry as they all.just dccided the world 

was mad and went to sleep. The looks on their faces said.iust wakc us up when it's all

A WATERY'I'AI,I,] 

A few years back I looked after a neighbours cldcr ly l.atrlltlor ovcr tlrc New Year 

holiday. Come Dec 3l I took the rather arthritic old lrourrtl orrl lirr its cvening 

constitutional and as it was late walked around sornc rallrcr crpcnsivc lrousing which 

surrounded the local RAF Quarters to see the valious Ncrv Ycars livc parties. 

Various self styled "celebrities" lived in these dwellirrgs arrtl sorne cluite busy 

celebrations were in full swing. One particularly large rnock ludor'/(iothic/Regency 

style Wimpey construction had many expensive cars outsidc arrd a very enthusiastic 

bash going on inside. 

The house and environs were well lit which didn't really catclr rny attention 

until a slight tug on the lead caused me to turn to see Angus raise his poft rear 

undercarriage and direct a stream of lukewarm liquid straight at a floor mounted 

lkW floodlight. 

I watched the liquid make its way downwards and splash gently on the glass. 

At this point there was an enormous blue flash and thunderous explosion. The lights 

went out everywhere. Temporarily blinded I heard a shrill screeching from the 

mechanism of the retractable dog lead followed by a smaller bang and bits of plastic 

from the shredded casing hitting rne. 

The nrusic was replaced by silence and then much swearing and sounds of breakage 

from inside the (now dark) house so I felt it best if I made my way nonchalantly 

away trying to hide what was left of the dog lead under my coat. 

On my way out of the close I asked a passer-by if the had seen an aged Lab, they 

said "No" but a dog they had assumed was a young whippet had passed therrr at 

some considerable speed heading down the road. About half a mile away I found 

Angus with his head firmly stuck in a privet hedge (the rest was sticking out, he 

wasn't the brightest of dogs). 

Dragging him out revealed one shivering but otherwise not noticeable harrned dog 

except that any attempt to inspect his nether regions was met with that woebegone 

look Labradors specialise in. 

Never again in the several years he lived there could anyone persuade Angus to go 

down that road again. 

This story was sent to one of Mick Peach's engineers who was asking "hrnu good is 

the watertight seal on out.side quartz halogen lantps? " Ed

club olganised a Deerhound-day, a super locatiorr ancl bcautilul rveather. In tlre 

rnorning we walked with the dogs, a short lralf an lrour walk lbl tlre younger hounds, 

one hour for the older Deerhounds. They all walked fl'ee and it was a wonderful walk. 

the dogs played with each other, ran through the watel and thcy all lrad a great time. 

While the dogs were resting from their walk, we all had a srnall lunch. In the afternoon 

there was a show for the young Deerhounds up to 24 rnontlrs of age. Mr. 

Gerritsen, a Greyhound breeder and -judge for several breeds.judged the young dogs. 

All the young Deerhounds got a report, and after each Deerhound he told the public 

alound the ring what he thought about the dogs. He made it very clear that sonre 

young dogs still had their.iunior faults. Everybody f-elt really pleased with his opinions, 

his way of explaining the standard of the Deerhound, he compared it with the 

standards ofother sighthound breeds. lt was very interesting to hear his ideas and 

opinions. He also explained that younger dogs still have to glow and to develop the 

things that they now are missing and pointed to all the good things he found in therl. 

He also explained that even thoLrgh there were different type's of Deerhounds, some 

stronger, sorne with lighter bone, some with lots of coat they still fitted part of the 

standard and that it is very irnportant for the breed that they were there. If you need 

something to irnplove or change things in the future in Deerhounds, at least the genes 

will be there.

Hello 

Summer is over now. But what a summer! 

Sometimes dogs and exhibitors had to suffer 

under the unusual heat but on the other hand it 

was a real 

summer.

There were several CC Shows held which 

mostly had a good entry. But it was not only at 

the shows that Deerhounds were well represented, a good number did also 

compete at the lure-coursings. Between 10 and 16 Deerhounds were always 

entered what shows that here Deerhound owners are very interested to let

t, News from Norway and Sweden 

I arn sitting at my computer looking out over the 

garden and the wonderfll autunrn coloLrrs that 

gradually spread across Norway as the weather 

gets cooler. The time has come to write a few 

words about Deerhounds in oul part of the world 

for the last newsletter of the year. The news fi'onr 

Sweden is of course fronr the Swedish 

breedshow at Tarnmsvik where Norma Sellers, 

IJSA, was -iudging. The show took place on the 

last weekerrd in July in the grounds of the 

Tamnrsvik Hotel. 

As usual the weather at Tarnmsvik was superb, in fact it was a bit foo hot. ln previous 

years the Deerhounds and their owners have been rather spoilt witlr our showring by 

large and leafy trees, so we could find shade when necessary. Wirh the ford a stone's 

throw away it was easy to keep the dogs cool too. We also had the bar and caf'e just 

beside us, but that I suppose is illelevant...This year, unfortunately, we had a ring in 

the rniddle of the park with no trees in sight. The dogs were vtry hot and thirsty. so we 

battled to keep them cool and well hydrated. 

The results from Tarnmsvik can be found on the Swedish Deerhound Club's homepage 

with pictures ofthe all class-winners and winners of the special breedshow 

classes too. Best bitch was Jaraluv Karaoke, best dog was Aftdoc Allister. tJntypically 

4 bitches were first in the final line-up.

grxxl quality Best in Sweeps went to a very sound, nice moving young male 

, ellrr

While I was in California, an English friend of mine who lives about an hour or 

so from the shows, came to stay the weekend with me in the hotel, and we 

managed to squeeze in visits to some local wineries and to the Danish town of 

Solvang. Solvang is a bit touristy, but we had a lovely day out; we shopped, 

took photos, and of course drank some very nice California wines! lt was a 

long flight to California from the Washington DC area, but well worth the trip 

Nearer home: In September we travelled up to Finger Lakes Region of New 

York State to attend the Wine Country circuit of shows (Anyone notice a trend 

here??) | drove the motor home packed full of dogs, and Ned brought the minivan, 

also full of dogs, and we set up camp in Romulus State Park where the 

shows are held, right on the lure coursing field This is very handy for the 

coursing on Saturday and Sunday but is a very long way from the rings, so it 

took quite a bit of juggling to get up and down to the rings with several 

Deerhounds, including two six month old pups who acted like mountain goats 

on leashes, and several whippets At least we didn't have torrential rain like 

last year, but maybe we will rethink our entries for next year. Anyway, on with 

the results for these shows

This past weekend the Mid Atlantic Deerhound Association hosted their 23rd 

annual Octoberfest weekend of events This is a fun gathering of sighthounds 

of various breeds taking part in many different activities, all of which earn 

t24 

*rr{r toward amongst other things, a 

'ttyr rrr Event trophy The weather was 

t".'.ty l)oth days, and the grounds at the 

ti.lrktchase track where the event was 

r.*l were dry with not a bit of mud to be 

roo unywherel 

'r'. tiaturday events began with the fun 

-'rt:h and Norma Sellers of Vale Vue 

tarrols was our judge. I'm afraid my 

,oulls are incomplete because they 

,t,ovorr't been posted yet, and as I was on 

rrr! fnove all day with various dogs, I did- 

,' I r.r0 all of the events 

i*rnra's oick for Best Adult in Match/

I vrrrl, coursing, (determined after the Breed wrnners fronr both days have a 

,,rrr off)was the whippet Deuce, for about the third year in a row! High Scorrng 

r ,urSrng Deerhound was a tie between Feathers (White) and Anoona 

M.rrklen) All in all it was a good weekend; the dogs had a great time, and the 

,i,vnrrrs went out to dinner a couple of times and caught up with friends made 

.rt l)t (fvious Octoberfests 

I rlx onring events of note are the SDCA supported entry at the Middleburg 

r 'rrnr)l Club in October, and in December there is the Alexandria, Virginia, 

'..,rllrsh 

Christmas Walk Alexandria is a town which was settled by Scots and 

,,o rrrsrdents celebrate their heritage by having a huge parade consisting of 

p,,1a bandS and highland dancers going through the town, and various Scottish 

r,q lrreeds bring up the rear. This event is well supported by Deerhounders, 

t,n,f llrcre is a luncheon and club meeting following the walk in a nearby pub/ 

r.rlnrrraflt lt's a great day out - the crowds love to see deerhounds en masse - 

.r,,rf ,r rlso a great place to do some Christmas shopping. 

'i, I rlrould mention that next year's SDCA National Specialty will be held in 

,'r.'Ur,rres, Vermont, from May 11-16th. We have held a Specialty , 'rris 

locar,'r,
