The 87th New England Hound Show will beheld Sunday, May 1st, 10 a.m. at The Equestry horse farm in New Haven. A dog show specifically for active foxhounds, the New England brings together more than 50 foxhounds from seven packs and will include English, American, PennMaryDel, and Crossbred hounds.
Green Mountain Hounds is the host for the event, with hunts participating from throughout the New England region, upstate NY, and Canada.
Classes are the typical dog show style, plus special events such as the Junior Showmanship Division, with entrants from 6-17 years of age, a horn blowing contest, and a retired hound class. A pack class, where ten hounds from each hunt handled off-leash by two people are put through a series of movements is a highlight of the day, showing the honesty and biddability of the pack. The day will finish off with the running of the 84th New England Drag Pack Trails, a race for 4 hounds from each pack over a 3 mile course.
Spectators are welcome. Bring a picnic lunch and make a day of it!
