Banquo is being trained as a deer tracking dog (a scent hound), and we hope to pass the Bronze Certificate this Autumn.
I only wish to breed very occasionally and will continue to put health, temperament, breed type and quality at the top of my list for breeding. Good temperament is paramount for family life, and as someone who does not like dogs said: “Banquo does not have an aggressive bone in his body.” His coat is important and is maintained and prepared with quality shampoos and conditioners. In addition, he is in excellent muscular condition.
Banquo is very much part of the family and lives in the house where he is never crated or kennelled. He has 35 acres of woods and lawns to run around in, as well as daily walks in the heather, through the woods, by the rivers, or in the sea.

On 26th April, 2021, the following blood tests were carried out and all of them were clear:
• 8158D Degenerative Myelopathy (EXON 2);
• Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC);
• 8225D Hereditary Nasal Parakeratosis (HNPK);
• 8235D Dwarfism /Skeletal Dysplasia 2 (Osteochondrodysplasia);
• 8073 Centronuclear Myopathy (CNM);
• 8094P prcd – PRA (Progressive Retinal Atrophy);
• 8392 Retinal Dysplasia (RD)/Oculo-Skeletal Dysplasia (OSD).
I can supply evidence of all of these various blood tests.

Elbow Dysplasia Scheme:
• Right = 0
• Left = 0
• Overall = 0

Hip Dysplasia Scheme:

Hip Joint Score Range Right Left
Norberg Angle 0-6 1 3
Subluxation 0-6 1 3
Cranial Acetabular Edge 0-6 2 2
Dorsal Acetabular Edge 0-6 0 0
Cranial Effective Acetabular Rim 0-6 0 0

Totals (max possible 53 per column) 4 8 12

Please note that on Thursday 8th April 2021, he jumped off a 20-foot wall, and this could be the reason why his hip score is so high.
