Laboratory studies have established reference intervals for haematology and serum biochemical profiles in Deerhounds, some of which are shared by all sighthounds, and some of which may be unique to this breed.

Very importantly there were at least one, often more, charming pencil illustrations on every page to hold his attention whilst I read.

Traditionally Deerhounds have the grey hair on their ears stripped back to the velvety-black under fur, but only one of Alfie's ears has been stripped, because, well, it hurt. Talking animals, gentle humour, suspense and charming illustrations in this tear-jerking chapter book, from the much-loved creator of The Worst Witch and Peace at Last. That does not mean it needs a large house to live in; however it should have regular access to free exercise in a large fenced or otherwise "safe" area.

The 'hound' of the title is Alfie the deerhound, a hairy, flop-eared coward of a puppy, who is bossed around by the cat of the house, Florence.

It’s a heartwarming tale of an anxious deerhound pup who goes missing, and his distraught, young owner’s attempts to find him. Initially, I think she was not enthusiastic, and me neither, as we didn't find the initial drawings of the dog with his different ear positions funny, and I was scared that this would be a silly, boring book.The book was the literary equivalent of an evening in by a log fire with a dog at your feet and your kids at your side. I was delighted to take part in the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition 2019, with my sculpture 'Cheeky Chester'. As a child I found this book okay, I loved almost any book about any dog back then but this was a exception I personally found it boring and not that good. In outward appearance, the Scottish Deerhound is similar to the Greyhound, but larger and more heavily boned. Charlie will never give up on Alfie, even when it looks as though the dog is never going to be found.
