Hello you all!

I'm Riikka and I live in Helsinki (the capital city of Finland) with soon to be two deerhounds and one whippet. I am all green with deerhounds (but nor whit dogs ;D) my "oldest" deerhound is just only two and a half years old. My whippet is eight years old now, and she is getting all senile. Forgets her ears time to time and so on. My new DH is just a nine weeks old now and is still living with her mom and her siblings.

This is THE breed for me althougt i love many other sighthound breeds and I am generally interested in dogs.

That is all for now, nice to meet!

Hi Riikka and welcome. Deerhounds are "my" breed as well but I do love sighthounds in general. I have a very soft spot for Sloughi's but my husband doesn't care for them.

Thank you! Nice to have this site, there is not so many places for us deerhound fanciers. This allows us to communicate beyond seas and land, which is important to me and i think it is important to the breed as well.

These crasy animals belong to my family:
May i introduce Matti, a one satanic cat who loves to hunt his favourite toys:

And this one is our precious grandmom-whippet named Loretta:

And finally our deerhound named Haggis:

Fantastic photos, They are all beautiful and I love Haggis's name He looks so at home on the snowy fields. Then again ours probably look just as at home stretched out in front of the air conditioning
