About This Book

It describes training, individual fates of littermates, daily care, and the pack's behavior during meets and chases, while offering observations on breeding, management, and the customs and ethos surrounding fox-hunting. Interwoven are practical details about hound health, feeding, and kennel discipline alongside gentle critique of harsh treatment and human failings.
