WEstminster NIght One

I am sitting and waiting for the Hound Group to begin. 28 Hounds, I believe.

The Westminster Kennel Club catalog describes Hounds as the following:
Mans indispensable partner in the pursuitof game. were developed before man cam to depend on firearms.

Hounds are known by how they track game, sight or scent.

Dogs at this level are judged based upon the physical needs to perform the work for which they were bred. Knowing about the breed, their temperament and their purpose.

For example, the suburban and urban Hound tends to have howling, barking and housetraining issues. There are obvious reasons for this. Old time hunters love the howl of the Hound, they call it Mountain Music. Hounds when used for their purpose tend to live outside eliminating the need to house train.
