Maggie

"Maggie is incredible. I reckon she is about five or six years old. She does sometimes pick up on scents when we're out walking, but she always finds me again. She wears falconry bells so that she can be heard. She has found a few fox dens but she'll stand there and do nothing. She lives with cats in our home. In a different environment - where they're not encouraged to hunt - they lose their hunting instinct. She is terrified of the sound of a hunting horn, and she has got a lot of deep scars on her. The fact that she was left to die on the side of the road says it all. She was house-trained within a week."
Negan
"I don't know how Negan survived in a hunt! He has never picked up a scent in the eight years I have had him. He's a goofy boy. He's got very bad spondylitis now, likely from hunting. Hounds twist their bodies when they're hunting, so we think it's down to that. He's got cancer as well. He's a gentle giant! He thinks he's a poodle in size and walks over my other dogs to sit down, and they all get out of the way for him. He goes to bed at about 8pm, and he spends most of the night with his bum on my pillow!"
