Hello Elise,

Thanks for the link to the interesting report over this big event.

Here a quote from the Scottish Deerhound handler Bayard Smith from the article :

Quote:

“In the late ’50s, the only time you can get a deerhound is to have them imported from England or Scotland,” Smith said. “It went from only 50 hounds to nearly 3,000 now in the states.”
