OUR PACK OF HOUNDS
THE FOXHOUND BREED
Our pack is composed of the Penn-Mary-Del foxhounds, renowned for their sensible temperament, biddability, and exceptional scenting ability.
Some desirable qualities in a hound are nose, cry, drive, steadiness, biddability, and conformation. The hounds work very hard and have the right of way at all times.
DESIRABLE TRAITS
Look for them to put their noses down and begin to work the line (scent). The more you observe their efforts, the more you can appreciate their talent and training, and the more enjoyable the art of fox hunting will become.
OUR HUNTING SEASON
Our hunting season runs from late August through March, with hunts generally held on Saturdays and occasional bye days. Hounds enjoy daily walkouts on foot and occasional mounted exercise.
