chartpolski 23,924 Posted April 3, 2023 Report Share Posted April 3, 2023 (edited) Anastasia Noble, a deerhound devotee. She obtained permission from the Kennel Club to introduce a greyhound into her deerhound line as she believed the deerhound was becoming to ‘cloddy’ in her words, and almost indistinguishable from the Irish Wolfhound. Both my present deer/grey bitch and my previous one have Ardkinglas blood in them . Cheers. Edited April 3, 2023 by chartpolski 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I knew an old bloke who ran whippets who was very friendly with her and he rated her greatly as a deerhound breeder. Cheers. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chartpolski 23,924 Posted April 3, 2023 Report Share Posted April 3, 2023 Just now, Bakerboy said: Are those the parents to your bitch Charts Yes. Sire is a pure deerhound with a lot of Doxhope blood, sadly gone now, but a son of his is running well. Dam is an Irish coursing greyhound bitch a pal sent over, sired by Mafi Magic the Irish coursing champion. Cheers. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
