We hope you have a great Christmas and all the very best for 2022 - let's hope it's a good one! 

Here's Ceilidh, with her partners in crime rescue lurchers Sparkles and Bee, enjoying low tide at Low Valleyfield on the Forth. 

 

We've got some lovely coats available at the moment. They will be the last ones we will be getting in for a while so please call Claire on 01383 881425 to get your order in. 

For Whippets/small Lurchers we have, imported from America, some wonderful colourful fleeced lined coats with a fleece cowl collar. Please see photos below of available colours. These coats are totally unique. There is only one of each coat available - so say goodbye to any embarrassing moments where your hound arrives for the park party wearing the same coat as another park guest! 

Sizes of the coats below are: Length approx 55 cm (nape of neck to base of tail). The blue coat with the tartan fleece lining (coat E below) is slightly longer at 63 cm. The fleece cowl for all coats is approx 35-40 cm long and this can be turned over. There is a gap between the fleece cowl and the coat for your hound's lead. All coats come with an under chest plate coat tie with a gold metal buckle. Cost is £45. 

For larger Lurchers/young Scottish Deerhounds who want a more functional look we have fleeced lined water repellent coats. These coats are made in the UK are approx 75 cm long (size 6). For some of these coats we have more than one available. Please see photos below of available colours. Please call Claire to check availability and order.

Sizes of the coats below are: Length 75 cm (nape of neck to base of tail). All coats come with a waist velcro tie. Cost is £35. 

 

Finally, we have colourful fleeced lined and fleece cowl coats for Scottish Deerhounds. These are also imported from America and are the must have winter coat for any larger hound. Again these coats are totally unique and only one is available for each design. Please see photos below of available colours. 

Sizes of the coats below are: Length 95 cm (nape of neck to base of tail) (size 9). The fleece cowl for all coats is approx 43 cm long and this can be turned over. There is a gap between the fleece cowl and the coat for your hound's lead. All coats come with an under chest plate coat tie with a gold metal buckle. 

Please note that we've tried to capture the colours as best we can but there may be some colour change intensity when you see them under natural light when received.  

 

Our lovely boy Ronan (Cusidh Homecoming) died this week at 10 years of age (25th Sept 2009 - 13th February 2020). We will all really miss him. He had such a super temperament, was incredibly athletic and a joy to live with. All our love Ronan. 

Ronan is survived by his sister Maggie in Stirling and his brother Ket in Galloway. Ronan was registered as Cusidh Homecoming as the year he was born (2009) marked the year of The Gathering of the Clans in Edinburgh The highlight of this Homecoming event in Scotland was when clans from all over the world marched up Edinburgh's Royal Mile to the castle from the Palace of Holyrood. 

Here's Ronan with his daughter Rosie out and about this year at the old Kirk, and later war graveyard, in Culross.

And here's Ronan with Ian at his last show where he won Best Veteran in Breed at the SKC in May 2018.   

 

Here's summer as enjoyed by Styx (Brylach Over the Broomstick with Cusidh). As you can see it's a calm sunny day at Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh! But Styx is having a great time regardless.

 

Thought we'd put up a few photos and videos from last year as a winter reminder. Here are Styx (Brylach Over the Broomstick with Cusidh) and Wee Dram (Cusidh Drawing Down the Sun) 'enjoying' the snow in the Pentlands.
