Show Report for Cuisdh Caol Muile: "I just loved this baby of 8 mths. She has everything for me. Excellent bone & substance, very feminine head, dark eye with aloof expression. Very shapley fore & aft which showed on the move. A little shy to be looked at but this will go with maturity, must have a glowing future."

Cusidh Hounds also took first and second place in Brace and a second in Team. Judged by Mrs Jean Malley.
We decided to do something different at Crufts this year and luckily was accepted to run with Banrigh (Drawing Down the Moon to Cusidh) at the CaniX event. I’d run at a couple of CaniX events previously but with my Lurcher Hettie. Anyway, Hettie was much relieved that Banrigh would be taking the strain as Hettie says it’s been very hard work pulling me up hills and through mud and says I need to give up the chocolate and wine and do more training before she goes out with me again.
We went to our first Deerhound Breed Show in the early 1990’s at East Grinstead and had asked Dr Phyllis Poyner-Wall if we could sell our postcards there. We were pleased to find that the cards sold well with the money raised going to support our St Hubert’s Hound Sanctuary. The most memorable aspect of the show was the mud and rain and Miss Noble organising races for the hounds. Bran won us a bottle of wine and a strong reprimand from Miss Noble about using a Gaelic affix which no one in England would understand! Ardkinglas, Miss Noble’s own affix, was not Gaelic but of course comes from Gaelic – we didn’t mention that. However, Cusidh it was and still is and hence the Cusidh Cards.
