In the fall of 1950, Miss Richmond and her majestic deerhounds roamed the Scottish countryside. These graceful creatures, known as Scottish Deerhounds, were a sight to behold. One particular hound named Brutus of Bridgesollers captured everyone's attention with his regal presence. A close-up of an adult Deerhound's head reveals their striking features - soulful eyes and a noble expression that exudes loyalty. The resemblance between these dogs and the Irish Wolf-Dog is uncanny, as depicted in an enchanting engraving from years gone by. Even in French fashion plates, you could find ladies elegantly riding sidesaddle on horses accompanied by their loyal Deerhounds. These dogs were not only companions but also symbols of status and grace. Their allure was so captivating that they graced magazine covers during the Victorian period, showcasing their elegance for all to admire. A trade card featuring J Westwood, a renowned gun and pistol maker from Birmingham even featured these magnificent creatures in its intricate engraving. The legacy of these remarkable animals extended beyond mere admiration; it reached legendary proportions with Maida being hailed as Sir Walter Scott's favorite dog. A sepia photo immortalizes this statue dedicated to Maida's memory. Deerhounds have always held a special place in history and our hearts. Whether it be through art or real-life encounters like those experienced by Miss Richmond, they continue to captivate us with their beauty and charm.
