For NI as Mike says there is someone breeding over there as there are always ad's in the CW for them. There is also Doughty's Doxhope kennel up in Newcastle they are bred purposely for working.

Also contact the deerhound club who have a puppy list. Make sure that a puppy has been liver shunt tested btw before you buy it.

What is the breeding of your friends Mike?

Micks deerhound looks a fine strapping male, and obviously it works, people think just because they are tall, they wont get down to rabbits, this is of course, not true. I have possessed deerhounds over the years that caught over 20 rabbits in one night, and they love it. A lot of times they bring them back to hand alive. Mind you, I much prefer to witness mine charging over the heather clad hill-sides of Scotland, where the haunting cries of curlews acho across the glen, and the sound of red grouse laughing at their own jokes sneaks out from every lech....Oh! there I go again getting a bit carried away..But seriously, he is a fine looking animal, keeping him working Mick!!!!

PS, I have an article about how deerhounds can get a hold of you coming in the Countrymans Weekly, I think this weekend, APRIL 7TH Thursday

Otty is georgeous, I have recently acquired a deerhound and he is wonderful. Ornish is 7 months old now and went to his first show last week, the Scottish Breeds, and qualified for Crufts at his very first show! Great, as we are both learning, it is a bit different to showing a whippet. He is still to get started on rabbits, but he rather fancies pheasants!

Liz, how exciting!! Pictures of him please - deerhounds are my second favourite breed ever! :wub: :wub: :wub: :thumbsup:

Hi Barbara, thank you for that, tell me, did you come up to our place a long time ago. I remember some people coming up that ran lurcher search UK,

 

[Liz Third]

I will try to get a photo when I have managed to get him to keep still for a moment or two, whenever I try he comes up and nudges my arm to say "what are you doing Mum?" I have several nice photos of the skyscape! He is going to the Hound Assoc of Scotland show on Saturday so will try to get someone to take a photo there. Maybe he and Zephyr will be at the same show one of these days.

Do you find that every one is an expert in how to say your name too :thumbsup:

I find it easier to say the name as if it has a 'c' in as no one can pronounce it as it should be, only the Iish can say the name properly.

Doxhope, Do you find that every one is an expert in how to say your name too :thumbsup:

Just out of interest my great Grand father was a farmer in Northern Ireland who kept Lurchers and Manx cats for hunting. He was a very hard man I believe. Their Kitchen rugs were made out of rabbit skins. I am a complete throw back as no one else for two generations has had any interest in animals at all but I have always been drawn towards running dogs and horses and anything to do with the countryside.

My great Grandfather married 3 times, all to Scottish women who he went and fetched from Scotland once he wore the last one out through hard work. :thumbsup:

Hi Jan, yes everyone gets my name wrong, and you should see some of the spellings if I have said it over the phone. My family originate from MAO, in southern Ireland, a band of horse thieves I do believe.

Bill Doherty, or is it Dougherty, or Dogarty, OH wel, ju no wot eye meen
