Welcome to the site of Breesfalt Deerhounds. 

We have been involved in showing / breeding Deerhounds since 1986 and after years of thinking about it have at long last started to put this site together.  I hope you find it of interest.

We live on the west coast of Scotland, overlooking Loch Fyne.  Surrounded by wonderful views and interesting wildlife, including Red Squirrel, Red and Roe Deer, and even Pine Martin.   This picture shows our house, garden and the loch beyond.

We have numerous birds living in and around our garden  most of whom frequent the bird table, Chaffinch, Goldfinch, Blue Great and Coal and Long Tailed Tits, Goldcrest, Wrens, Tree Creepers, Greenfinch, Robin, Siskins, Woodpecker, Jays, Sparrow Hawks.  We have also seen Tawny and Barn Owls swooping across the garden. 

Surveying the territory Unfortunately we missed the shot 5 minutes later when the Buzzard swooped down on the bank outside the kitchen window and then lifted off with a mouse clutched in it's talons.	The Buzzard, the largest visitor to our bird table.

One of the first things we had to do when we moved here was to put up high fencing, the very first night we were sat on packing cases in our new house looking out of the patio window and a Red Deer went marching past.  The next day Kerry chased a Roe Deer out of our little wood in the centre of the garden.  From that moment, until the fencing was finished they were not let loose.

I have had dogs all my life, including Pyrenean Mountain dogs, German Shepherds and a German Shorthaired Pointer.  I was having some fun successfully showing my German Shorthaired Pointer, Bree, in obedience and decided it would be nice to start showing another breed, after much deliberation settled on a Deerhound.  I obtained my first deerhound eventually in 1986, having a very successful show career with Garth, who became our first Champion.  From that time I have not been without one of these wonderful companions.  Breeding our first litter in 1994.

This picture shows Breesfalt Kilkerran, Breesfalt Abergairn, Breesfalt Barntalloch, and Champion Ardkinglas Krystal with Christopher, Connor and a friend.
