The years from 1939 to 1945 proved dangerous to all the big breeds...Deerhounds fared better than most, and this for two reasons. In England at least sixteen breeders found time...to breed a few litters and keep the various strains in being. The second great safeguard for deerhounds - as for so much else - lay across the Atlantic. When the storm clouds began to gather Mrs. A. H. Huntington, the renowned American sculptress, visited this country and took back with her to the safety of the United States a fine team headed by the great International Ch. Prophetic of Ross.
