This ties in nicely with Jane's vivid imagery. It could manifest either as a ghostly dog thing or in the pack leader (in which case the blessing could be something like Breed True).
I don't think dogs are actually mentioned anywhere in connection with Garhound, but it may be so obvious no one thought it worth their effort to.
But why would a Sartarite family have dogs, unless they are really

It is also conceivable the garhound was in situ when Declan came to the
settlement. If Declan formed a new clan or bloodline, he may simply have
taken the garhound as the new wyter.
Perhaps it belonged to a lost Praxian tribe who will soon come and
reclaim what's theirs, what will the poor beast do, torn between old and
new masters...
Hm, forget I said that. ;-)
I think I should the sources before posting anything else though. Bo
