WESTMINSTER DOG SHOW

The 2011 Best In Show Trophy was awarded to "GCH Foxcliffe Hickory Wind"
 a.k.a. "Hickory," a Scottish Deerhound.

What is a Scottish Deerhound?
Characterized as "the most perfect creature" by Sir Walter Scott, where do we find the essence of this graceful and stately sighthound? Great stature with greyhound-like curves and a natural, wiry coat with shaggy beard and brows give him a wise appearance and reinforce his natural dignity. Keenness, great speed, and endurance make him formidable in the field. A Deerhound breeder once said that Deerhounds steadfastly believe the best of their humans. Their quiet dignity, readiness to forgive injury and remember kindness, sudden fits of irresponsible gaiety, wistful expression, and unfaltering friendship are their hallmarks.
