About the owner and the Nightwatch dogs

Nightwatch is located in the beautiful mountains of western Maryland, where my husband Allen and I have lived since 1976. It is a wonderful place to live, and we are fortunate to have a humble abode that backs onto historic Wills Mountain. We can have wild or mild winters, and toasty summers...but spring is the image of paradise, with the mountains so lush and full of life...sometimes wildlife that comes right up for a visit! And yes, we have deer that often eat in the yard next door...so I have good fences! The whippoorwill sings us to sleep most of the spring, and summer brings other night sounds that I just love. We love to catch a glimpse of the deer, and even the bear if they stay far enough off. Of course we aren't so crazy about the very occassional skunk...but they seldom come too close because of the dogs.

Autumn here is absolutely stunning, and too short, and the best time to visit this historic town, and ride the steam engine.

We have 2 daughters. Kerensa Gray is our oldest. She is a gospel singer, as well as a music teacher, and if you like something a little different with some jazz sounds, visit her at sould.org.

Our youngest daughter, Devi, is the mother of the 3 most beautiful and wonderful grandsons on the planet. I am obviously unable to be objective here, but that is how 'meema's are you know. They are 10, 7, and 6, and in all kinds of sports, and 'boy things', and they keep Pappy busy and happy. There is nothing quite as good as a happy pappy. The boys are great with the dogs, and the noise and confusion and trips to ball games are great for those times when we have puppies. We also have 3 cats who help teach the dogs tolerance and humility...sometimes.

Nightwatch Scottish Deerhounds has been the home of these 'ROIL' hounds for over 25 years. We started out just loving them for the remarkable companions they are, but because we were already involved in other aspects of the dog fancy with another breed, such as showing, training, and agility, naturally we did eventually start showing a bit, and finally, in 1998, we were fortunate enough to breed my lovely girl, Highstone's Occasional Grace, to Janet Porter's incredible Scoresby. Janet owns d'Lux Deerhounds.

From that match we kept our treasure, CH. Nightwatch's As You Like It (Call name Hero). Thanks to Janet's handling, and Hero's sheer loveliness (I am, of course being totally objective here..) Hero finished her Championship at Back Mnt KC. She was bred to Janet Porter's Buddy. This stunning Champion male not only offered the wonderful lines and looks that one hopes to produce, but more importantly, the delightfully loving temperament that we strive for. Since we only had one litter from our super sweet Gracie, we were really looking forward to the grandbabies to carry on the Highstone lines, and hopefully, do honor to the Nightwatch name, as well. Her last litter, whelped August 30, 2004, was from Joy Windle's Wonderful Thomas...Ch. Joyous Canterbury O'Val Vue. From that litter we kept Nightwatch's Tabard Inn Decent.

Nightwatch was privileged to be the home of CH Rosebank d'Lux Vale Vue. Rosie was bred by Janet Porter, and was a stunning bitch who offered size with grace, and who sported a lively and gracious personality. She was such a favorite here, and was often found running around the house with grandson Raen, playing the 'circle game' they both enjoyed so much. She is sadly missed, but her legacy continues with Janet Porter's wonderful 'Misty'.

Nightwatch Taming the Shrew (Echo) (pictured at 2.5 years) is a daughter of my Hero and Janet Porter's Buddy. Echo's show career was cut short by a rather bad leg injury. She has recovered enough to enjoy life fully, and her first litter arrived March 19th, 2008. There was 1 gorgeous female, and 3 wonderful, rowdy males. View Puppy Pictures Here.

** Brag ** Echo went Reserve Winners at the Magic Valley Kennel Club show, March 5th and 6th!
