A couple of picks of Badger. 18 wks old and 25 in, growing everytime I blink :)Today he is sporting his new beard which he has spent the week cultivating.

Welcome Badger, you are a V/nice boy indeed. Look forward to watching you grow!!

Still getting the hang of this. Thanks for looking.

He looks lovely. My pups would never sit serenely like that

Well its not often we get a pause, but he was busy soaking up the sun while I pruned the apple tree. I grabbed the camera and snapped these and then went in to make a cup of tea and was just thinking how good he was being when he reappeared carrying one of my maran hens. :)They were both a bit confused, but delivereed to hand unharmed. I think he looks most regal - but I'm a bit biased.

He does look very regal. Probably less so with a chicken hanging out of his mouth

Gosh he is a scrummy boy

You know what? Those are textbook ears; so tiny and well carried. You don't often see ears like that.

Lovely ears, lovely head, I could eat him he is so beautiful!!

Thanks for sharing them

V nice looking dog, what's his breeding?

Gosh, that's a nice looking Deerhound, how is he bred?
