i had a pure ardkinglass deerhound dog, bred by anastasia noble back in the early 80s, he was a real nice dog but due to his size and pace he was limited to what he could catch, i ran him for a few years and caught a bit of stuff with him, but not much really, i got him from near whitby, a place called egton bridge, they sold me him because he killed there yorkshire terrier, he was touchy with small dogs and i wouldnt have trusted him alone with them, but he might be just a one off ?????, i met a fella from acklam, at middlesboro, who had a pure bitch, and a load of permission, we ran the pair
