Louis Icart - Zest


Superb piece of Art Deco by French artist and illustrator Louis Icart. 

The hounds, whilst not specifically Deerhound, Greyhound or Borzoi are worthy of inclusion here for the artists stylish rendering and capture of the moment that is unmistakably the ‘zest for life’ that sighthounds exude at the start of chase.

The Rocket and Rebel postcard


 

A year in the life of deerhound pups in the Covid age

Rascal having passed at the outset of the Covid-19 Pandemic left a big hole in the world and nobody to maintain our blog. But just a little over a year ago two new wee hounds joined us and have already experienced more wonder and beauty of  their homeland than most will in a lifetime. Scotland for Scottish Deerhounds . . . from Ardnamurchan to Elgin, Dalnacardoch to Dalmeny, from Glencoe to Glen Garry, coast-to-coast and north-to-south they've covered it all. Rocket and Rebel are pleased to announce that they are now continuing the legacy of the deerhound blog!

Wild Sports and Natural History of the Highlands

Whilst walking at lunchtime today - I happened to pop into a Secondhand Charity Bookstore in Edinburgh and discovered this wee gem - Wild Sports and Natural History of the Highlands by Charles St John. Chapter 34 is the prize - twenty pages of Deerhounds and coursing deer from the 1919 Edition. A book worth the hunt.
