The meaning behind the name 'Baskevyns'
Baskin was the pet name of our first Scottish Deerhound, from the Pharcourse kennel.
He was a wonderful, large but supremely gentle dog, who was to have been the founder of our breedline but was tragically taken from us far too young.
So it was that we decided to combine his name with the Celtic word 'kevyn' meaning kind, gentle and handsome.... surely the perfect description of the attributes of the Scottish Deerhound!
We have a highly successful family of hounds - Robyn, her daughter Dana, Dana’s daughter Aalis and son Aragon, Boudica - daughter from Aalis, and our latest bitch is Alastriona. They have all been raised and trained by ourselves from puppyhood. They are primarily our pets, but have had superb show careers, and enjoyed track/coursing too. Their lists of wins are shown below.
Dana's offspring - Aragon and Aalis are very close companions. They have won numerous 'Pairs' competitions - especially notable being the Sept'17 San Marino International 1st place where the judge commented - "They have the best combined movement he has ever seen"!

Both Aragon and Aalis enjoyed Lure Coursing and Track running whilst we lived in Switzerland with tracks nearby. Now they have returned to England ‘ life on the farm’ , with fields of their own to race each other in , is the new way of living with Aalis’ new daughter Baskevyns Boudica Regina and now in 2024 our latest bitch Alastriona.
Our kennel name 'Baskevyns' is registered to us (Mr & Mrs.Wyatt) and controlled by the SKG in Switzerland.
Baskevyns is now currently based mainly in the UK , registered under the UK Kennel Club.
We are based in the Franches Montagne area of Switzerland and in the North West of Essex in England.
Our hounds enjoy life on our smallholdings in both countries, where they have acres of space to run and play. We also have our own horses and cats, and lots of friends with dogs, so our hounds are very well socialised.
