Westminster.
Best in Show.
Best in Show.
Her name is
Hickory.
DON'T GET ONE JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE FAMOUS NOW. I have a tee-shirt that says, "No, it's a deerhound." Because everybody asks if it's an Irish Wolfhound. I expect more of them will know now that it isn't. All you really have to do is see them move. No other breed flows quite like that.
I'm posting this post because how could I not? Raebert doesn't care. He's lying on his back on his own loveseat, looking exactly like an unmade bed. Brush him up and he looks exactly like Hickory. All deerhounds look exactly like all other deerhounds, except for details of their faces, which make them all unique. Biggest moment? After the announcement was made, the handler bent immediately to get what we call "the sighthound hug." The best moment you can have with any kind of dog. She knows. That's all that really matters.
End of post.
