Hunting reportsAlbrighton Woodland Hunt - Puppy Show Report & Results 18th July 2010Held in front of its purpose built kennel complex built in the 1930’s, the Albrighton Woodland Puppy Show 2010 was very well attended for one of the ‘smaller’ hunts. Though Mr Peter Swann\'s declared intention is to move to an all ‘black and tan’ pack, hound breeding is an inexact science (which is... Skycastle French Hounds - Season UpdateOur 2009-2010 season has continued to be plagued with rough weather conditions, but hounds have shown very good sport. At the meet at Brandywine Valley Association on January 31, hounds put two rabbits to ground in the first big cover, then worked the rest of the property thoroughly with a final rab... Weser Vale Hunt Ev - Master's Report - 2009-2010 SeasonThe Weser Vale Hunt hunted six couple of Bloodhounds in its forty-first Season. We were not idle during the Summer break. Two of our best dog-hounds, bred out of our pack, were taken to cover bitches from the Rallye Ma Joie in Belgium and the Midland Hunt in Holland. On the trip to London for the Hu... Skycastle French Hounds - Midwinter reportOur 2009-2010 season has been plagued with rough weather conditions at times, but hounds have shown very good sport. November 1st, was a meet at Marsh Creek. Nick Booth did a nice job hunting hounds, and the pack had short runs on two rabbits in tough scenting conditions. At Silberman’s on the 8th, ... Stonewall Hounds - Meet ReportToday Lili, Kate, Jenner, Judy, Susan, Howard and I braved the hard icy footing again and took hounds out. We went to the Meadows, where we often run grey fox, in a smaller sort of contained area, hoping that it would not require us covering a lot of frozen ground. Following is my version, hopefully... Potomac Hunt - Out, Out Damp FogIt was nothing like Carl Sandburg’s fog that "comes on little cat feet." The fog hovering over Potomac Hunt members gathered at Austin Kiplinger’s Montevideo for the annual Thanksgiving Day hunt was dismal, dark and dank. However, it didn’t deter diehard foxhunters from crawling out of a warm bed to... Skycastle French Hounds - 2009-2010 seasonOur 2009-2010 season began in earnest in June. Walking out and hunting three days a week got the pack in fine shape. White Acres Farm, Bob Berry’s, the Hallmans’, the Flaggs’, the Silbermans’, the Cadwaladers’, the Theurkaufs’, the Wickersham’s, and Church Farm School all have had game. Our thanks t... Colne Valley Beagles - Various meetsAfter what seemed like a very long summer break, with work parties galore, shows and puppies, as previously reported, the season 2006/2007 did eventually arrive. The weather never really altered an awful lot, and scenting conditions were generally as fair to good as in any season I can remember. The... Colne Valley Beagles - Second Half of 2006/07Second Half 06/07 The Christmas break came and went, and the first half of the 2006/07 season with it, was it really four months ago that I wrote my last Beagler report? It scarcely seems possible. The “T” & “W” litters had all more or less got the hang of this hound exercise business, with natu... Colne Valley Beagles - Summer 2007Admittedly the first few weeks after the closing meet has been in my experience a slightly strange and surreal period, a letting out of a deep breath, a sense of loss for the season just gone, and the revisiting of some fond memories of good hound-work, good companionship, good meets and those not s... North Down Hunt - Childrens' meetChildrens meet with over 40 children out from the age of 4 up to about 16 it was a eventfull day with all them out jumping and galloping flat out to start we give them a jump and gallop around a eventing ireland event course behind hounds to warm them up before we started hunting after they warm and...

Colne Valley Beagles - First half 2007/08Colne Valley Beagles Huntsman’s Report First Half 2007/08 No sooner had we got the Puppy Show & the Hound Show out of the way then suddenly it seemed as if the season was already upon us….The first part of summer always drags a bit in kennels, with winding hounds down for their rest, while keepi... Colne Valley Beagles - Second Half 2007/08(These are my thoughts and not an official statement) I’m writing this some four weeks after the Closing Meet of 2007/08, and three after the bonus By-day courtesy of our friends at the Catterick Beagles.
