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 currently have a highly successful family of 5 - Robyn, her daughter Dana, Dana’s daughter Aalis and son Aragon, plus Boudica - a new bitch from Aalis ( litter born 18.11.19) . The senior 4 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 had her litter for us in Sept’2014 and you can view photos of all 8 puppies in the Pups Progress section. Her daughter Aalis (Baskevyns Ailsa Craig) had her litter in Nov ‘2019 , and photos of the 9 pups are also in the same section.
Both Aragon and Aalis have had an amazing 3 years of showing, becoming Multi Junior and Multi Senior Champions. They are also both now FCI International Champions, as are their mother Dana and grandmother Robyn before them !
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 too!
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.
