SPORTS
AFIELD
BY TED RESTING

AT least some formal schooling
y recommended for training the
young foxhound. says Henry P.
Davis, Sporting Dogs Editor of
Sports Afield Magazine. Working
with the foxhound can be lot of
fun, especially as a close personal
relationship between hound an d
master begins to develop. Or it
can be something like letting ma
ture take Its course, with the
young hounds major education
coming through the associations
and the examples set by older
hounds.
The extent Of the formal edu-
cation should depend upon the
manner in which the dog is to be
hunted. Every young hound should
be taught his name, to come when
called. to walk along readily when
on the lead and to remain quiet
when tethered These are simple
methods Of control which add
much to the hunters pleasure and
contribute to a better understand
ing between him and his dog.
There are three types of fox
hunting in this country for which
hounds are specially developed:
Hunting in the North and New
England where the fox is shot in
front of the hound and a single
hound Is generally used: organiz-
ed club pack hunting where hounds
must be well behaved under the
control OF theohuntsman and mas
ter OF the hounds. and pack hunt
ing in the South, where the hunt
ing is generally at night and lit
tie control is exercised.
