Hi Everyone
Im Jan and live on a farm in Dumfries and Galloway I have Deerhounds and a couple of parson russell terriers for my sins!
Ive been reading the forum with interest over the last few weeks so thought id take the plunge and join some like minded people,there arent alot of Deerhounds in my area so it will be nice to have some Deerie talk! Heres a couple of pics of Willow and Bran....who is just 3 months old and a real darling. Hope to be able to contribute to the forum

wasnt sure how to get 2 pics on my post so here is a pic of Willow

Hi Willow
Thanks for joining. If you are uploading photo's you can only add one per post. If you host them on photobucket or similar you can add several.
Welcome to the site.

Hi Willow and welcome to the forum. Tell us a bit more about your Deerhounds.

Hi Willow and welcome. Hope that you enjoy this forum. I love your dogs.
Bran looks so sweet - bet he(or she) is full of mischief!

Hi Jan
Your puppy is beautiful, I want one!!! The older dog looks handsome, do you show him/her? What are their breedings?
It's always nice to have other deerhound people to talk to, especially when they are puppies as there is always something that worries or puzzles you!
Welcome
Helen and Murphy too!!

Hi Jan. Welcome to the Forum. Glad you decided to take the plunge!
Lovely pics of your Deeries.

Thanks for the welcomes,Willow is my 3 year old bitch i have done a few open shows with her we dont do alot of showing We are hoping to go to the coursing days and see how we get on there !!! I think Willow would prefer the local wildlife but it should be fun. She is off Kilbourne Nimrod and Dingledyke Dancer ,Bran is her son he is off Nells MacBeans Rannoch, The dogs are our friends first and theres nothing better than having the company of Deerhounds!
I shall see how Bran shapes up and may take him to some shows when hes up a bit I think hes lovely but im biased
Jan

cooeee!! Hi Jan

great to see you here

hugs to your hounds

Hi Jan, we also have a son and daughter of Rannoch.

And Murphy is off Kilbourne Nimrod too! I think most of the Deerhounds in the UK are related somewhere!!

Sally have you any pics of your Rannoch pups?How old are they?It would be nice to see how they have turned out.
I suppose with a relatively small gene pool we will have relatives somewhere along the line!One of Willows pups went to a lady who already has a Nimrod bitch.
Is that Murphy on your avatar Helen?

jan

Yes, I'll try and change it to a different one, he has his back to you, how rude!

Some other pics taken recently

That pesky squirrel is back again!!
Does anyone know how to make these photo's smaller?

Hi Helen,
Are you using Internet Explorer 6 (click help...about)? There are a few faults in ie6 that stop it displaying images and other things correctly. I'll shrink the images down a bit to see if that helps. I'd recommend using Internet Explorer 7 or the latest release of Firefox. I have tried to fix this in the forum software, but its just too difficult to get around.
Check back in a bit and I will have reduced the images a bit...
Rob
ps the other way is to resize your images to a maximum of 499 pixels wide before you upload(thats the width of the forum), thats what I'm doing now...

should be ok now. you might need to press ctrl-f5 to refresh.

hi hope you enjoy the forum, i live in the highlands and like you dont know or see many other deer hound people...sheona

Hi Jan and welcome. Lovely hounds.

Hi Jan, This is Finnan, Rannoch' son, out of our bitch Ch. Claonaiglen Orrin. He is just 6 months in this photo.
