Did it get any coverage in the UK ,,, our Crufts? A Scottish deerhound won .... I'd never heard of the breed.

Well done to the owners, Deerhounds are beautiful dogs, although you do not see many of them.....

One of the articles mentioned that they're uncommon here, Moli ... she is a very large hairy dog ......

Now the Irish wolfhound is a breed I had heard of and seen pics of; Scottish deerhound was a new one to me ... and to many of the news anchors reporting the results on TV. Interestingly enough, this Champion comes from around here: the Virginia hunt country, so she's gotten more than the usual local TV coverage.

Beautiful dogs.....

We do get it televised usually through Animal Planet at some stage but usually not right away. Nice dog that won.

What a lovely dog .... I do like hairy dogs! New breed to me too.

Not seen any coverage here Eileen although I may have missed it.
However I have always liked the look of deerhounds, they remind me of slightly hairy versions of greyhounds, although in reality I think they have derieved from the USSR Borzoi. I have only ever meet two in my life and they were gorgeous, they were massive, not quite looking me in the eye but notfar off being 5ft4.

I love deerhounds. We saw one on our walk last week. Didn't see any coverage here Eileen.

We have a client who breeds deerhounds, beautiful dogs! I usually watch Westminster coverage online but strangely didn't have the time this year! :lol:
