Start the new year as you mean to go on, by having a good time!

If you're looking for an Open show geared up to Scottish Deerhounds look no further than Chichester and District Canine Society. There are four deerhound classes Puppy, Junior, Open Dog and Open Bitch and a deerhound Judge - Mr Chris Arthur. The deerhounds will also be in an outdoor ring if weather permits. A strong entry can only help secure deerhound open classes for the future so show your support by entering your deerhound, look here for further details.

The show is on 25th January 2009 in Bognor Regis and entries close 5th January 2009.

After the show Jean and David Gilhooly (Nobys Deerhounds) will be hosting a get together for the deerhound exhibitors at their home which is fairly local to the event (maps available at the show). There is ample secure ground for the deerhounds to unwind after the show and food will also be available. This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

More pictures and comments in the deerhound forum.

Congratulations Mel and all at Fyrth Deerhounds and also to his breeders at Bhealaich Deerhounds.

Thank you Ricky Bentley for this fantastic photo of Banrigh (Claire/Elise Cartmell's Cusidh Bitch).

It looks like participants at Sue and Kevin Rose's lure coursing event on the 2nd of November had a fantastic day.

Sue has another event organised for Sunday 30th November 2008 (Kinross, Scotland). As always please contact Sue directly using the directory or I can pass on your messages submitted through the contact us form.  Any dogs are welcome and the event is just for fun, just let Sue know how many dogs will be attending.
The first race is at 11.00 am and tea will be available before hand.

There are plenty more photos to see on Rogues Deerhound Blog.
You can see a video of the November 2nd Event here (thanks again Rogue).
Or why not drop into the forum to see what people have been saying about the day.
