RESCUE FINN.

This is the picture of the back end of a 3 year old Deerhound who had found himself in a pretty dreadful home. The puppies had been sold off cheap and we were told he had been passed around until he eventually ended up in a garden shed. When we got to him him he was full of lice and fleas and very very emaciated.

Hazel Williams (Inverclyde) and I fetched him home, we had to pay for him to get him. He was in such a bad way we opened up my grooming parlour in the middle of the night so that we could treat him. He did recover and go on to live with a Borzois in a loving home but it illustrates the need to find suitable homes for any puppies bred. In this particular case we could not trace the breeder, pity as we would have liked to talk to them.

Pasterns

This picture completely amazed us. The dog in the picture is a british champion and she was coming over a 5 foot gate. The owner  kindly lent me this photograph.

Another example of how the pastern is used for turning and landing. thanks to Sue Phillips who took this on the beach 2006.
