Hi, my name is Angela and I've just registered.
I live in Carmarthenshire, West Wales.
Originally 'started out' with working lurchers (all Deerhound crosses)then homed 3 ex racing 'Greys' and last year acquired my first Deerhound.....she is an absolute delight!!
Met some of you at the Breed Show, Dunblane a few weeks ago.

Someone was asking about the prints that were for sale at the Breed Show..... was it the 'stand' in the foyer close to the revolving doors? I'm sure they will be at some shows over the Summer - can put you in touch if you send me a private email...

Hi Angela and welcome to the site. I hope you enjoy it here.

Hi Angela, glad that you joined the site.

Hi Angela, nice to meet you, what a lovely part of the world you live in. Hope you enjoy the site.

Hi Angela, good of you to join the club. I also joined fairly recently, and I keep coming back to the site regularly. Perhaps it's addictive, or perhaps it's just because we all love this breed and like to share with like-minded people.

Hi Angela and welcome to the site I am Trish and live very close to you in Pembrokeshire (Pembroke Dock). I have Murray(1yo), Carys(6 months) Smokey greyhound (9) and our very recent addition Bonnie who is about 8-9 and has been with us just over a week! I also have 3 parrots so all in all quite a handful!
What is the breeding of your deerhound?

hi and welcome to the site i find it very addictive as well

Hi Trish,

My Deerhound is by Wolfscastle Wood Melick, she's nearly 11 mths old and is amazing (well, I think so anyway).
She got two 3rd's at the Breed Show in Dunblane, Scotland and I'm very proud of her, needless to say!
I also have a retired racing 'Grey' (Lucy aka Lady Tee) who is 6 years old and is a lovely girl.
A JR also lives here (my daughter's) just to throw a 'spanner in the works'...lol

Hi Angela and welcome to the site. We also have a dog sired by Wolfscastle Wood Melick, Fergal (Sorisdale MacManus)he got 2 2nds at the Breedshow. We also have Callie (Lyart Yester).

Hi Spot,
Thanks for the welcome!
What bitch is yours out of and how old?
As far as I know Wood Melick has sired two litters to date?

Murray is Wolfscastle Hela out of Terichiline Windrush and Gentom Legacy (Lana) - he was the 12/3/8 litter. Carys is Matahari Mouse out of Keri's Rinda (RIP) and Readwald Thor to Kilburn. Bonnie is - we dont know but he is beautiful nevertheless

Hello and welcome, from Mareijke and Norbert in Sweden.

A new puppy - how exciting Where from?

hi houndy im having one from sallys and alans orrins litter have been waiting for the right time and right litter they only live a short distance from me, so excited just hope skye our other deerhound dont mind to much

Hi Cal and thanks for the welcome.

The ex-racers get such a tough time. My previous 2 Greys had both been 'dumped' at the roadside. The big lad on the motorway with broken ribs, mange and emaciated....I know what I'd like to do to those reponsible.....not 'printable' though!!!!!

My current Grey is a happy 6 year old girl (black with white tux) and my Deerhound adores her! So does the JR...especially when she's in season

Thats the problem to many are dumped at the wayside when they can no longer race thank god for the rescue sites.Sadie got on with every breed of dog she met but cats that was a totaly different matter, but when we met one on our many vists to the vets with her she couldnt care less.
