Hi, couldn't remeber where i posted the old phots of Fergal, think they're on general dog discussion cos it was pre-lucher group days!
anyway i'll have a go ata few more (any excuse :- " )
It's amazing isn't it, i'm a bit upset that we won't see him for three wks cos he's going to have grown so much! We did get to take him on his first trip outside though - he was brilliant, the other pup we brought out was petrified and shaking like a leaf, but talisker was bounding around...
Thanx Bappit, and Doxhope, was going to add to the deerhound thread but 1) i thought Talisker did deserve his own thread (excuse my extreme bias and pretentiousness) and 2) i was a bit worried about hijacking the deerhound thread completely with too many pictures etc and 3) there don't seem to...
Finally got to meet the puppies today, i've never had to choose a puupy from a litter before, it's so difficult - they're all just gorgeous, but luckily it wasn't my decision anyway, it was up to david. We chose this wee dog eventually, I say wee, but he was actually the biggest of the dogs...
We're going to visit our potential new baby puppy tomorrow - am so excited!!! If we manage to pick one and the lady doesn't mind, might be able to show some pics tomorrow!!!!
just wanted to leave a note in sympathy with barbara re: her experiences with dog not chasing plastic bag...
took Fergal to NI BASC fair yesterday, decided to have a go at the racing for a laugh - and a laugh is just what it was - for everyone watching, as the rest all set off furiously up the...
Aaaaawwww,she's beautiful, it's amazing how quickly they change, she looks so grown up compared to DH puppies, but so young compared to the adults and only 6 mths old!!!
Wow!! I'm so glad i found this place, it's nice to be know i can contact people with so much experience and knowledge of the breed if i run into any probs.
It's a bit weird that we know as much about this dog's family history as our own and we haven't even met him yet!! i suppose it's...
Thank you so much, that might come in very handy as neither of us have any experience with deerhounds so not that sure what to expect - although each have experince with luchers, pointers (OH) and and Afghan (me) in the past so hopefully fairly well prepared - neither of us have brought up a...
VERY EXCITING NEWS!!!!!!! Have found a litter of deerhound puppies and they're in NI!!!!!!! Spoke to the owner last night, they're just 4 wks old, 3 bitches and 3 dogs, going to visit and to try to pick one (that is, try not to pick ALL of them!!!) in two weeks and ready to come home on 31 May...
That's great, unfortunately can't go on sunday though - my best friend is having her first born christened (flippin religious types, so inconsiderate) , have suggested she thinmk about another date but wasn't having any of it!!
Anyway, there seem to be plenty more shows coming up over the...
Thanx for all the info, sounds llike great craic!!! Will be going to the ballywalter show on the 30th, can't wait!! I think fergal's going to love it, he loves meeting other lurchers and greyhounds. Can male dogs be shown if they are neutered or are they supposed to be intact like pedigree...
HI, sorry to butt in, and to show my ignorance but can anyone tell me what the rules are for showing and for racing? Have never been to any of the shows and am really looking forward to going along with fergal, would love to enter something if possible!!
He looks fabntastic, i think Fergals too lanky to be agile but would love to give him a go at racing or something, still not sure hw to go about it though. Woody looks like he's loving all the excitement!!!

Your dogs are fantastic, am currently arguing with my OH that we have plwnty of room for some more - one just isn't enough and waiting til we move house is no fun when we've been looking for that new house for 6 mths already!!! I WANT MORE DOGS!!!!!
Thanx very much for the info,
Must source a copy of this Countryman's Weekly - have never heard of it but it's been mentioned hear a few times, sounds like a mine of useful information!!
