I was so excited to have such a big entry of Deerhounds in my ring on Friday – as I have been familiar with all Sight Hounds since early 1980, I feel very comfortable to judge those aristocratic breeds. It was nice to see all dogs today in excellent muscle and coat condition and all with very typical outlines for this breed with correct breed details like thin black ears, big noses and strong hindquarters which is so important for the typical dancing Deerhound gait.
