Championship for best unentered hound

Champion,  Nomad

We had a very happy and successful time with our hounds at Peterborough, Royal Foxhound Show, on Wednesday 18 July 2018.
With our legendary hound breeder, Martin Scott, judging the bitch classes in the afternoon, we were only able to show our dog hounds in the morning. This was Martin’s eighth time judging there, which apparently gives him the record for judging appearances at Peterborough!
We started the morning strongly, with Nomad winning the Unentered Dog hound Championship and the prestigious “Horse and Hound” Cup. This is the first time that the V.W.H has ever won this much coveted trophy, which dates back to 1974.

Full results

We have six litters of puppies born this year (2018)

The Kennels are run by hunt staff who report to one of the Joint Masters. We have a hardworking and efficient team who all live on-site to ensure that the hounds and horses have 24 hour care and supervision.

We try to feed the hounds on the purest food possible, raw meat, with just a little biscuit for fibre. Raw meat is obtained from local farms when livestock is lost.

All hounds are micro-chipped and vaccinated just like other dogs. The sponsor the hound scheme covers the cost of micro-chips, and a generous donor covers the cost of the vaccinations.

When the puppies have been weaned from their mothers, our members and supporters will ‘walk the puppies’. The puppies go and live on farms and become part of the family while they grow up.
