Berks and Bucks Draghounds

Berks and Bucks Draghounds Following the Scent since 1974... Riding with DragHounds is a thrilling sport which SHOULD NOT be confused with Fox Hunting/Trail Hunting.

With DragHounds, a pack of Hounds follow a Scent laid by a human rather than pursuing a live quarry. The Line is laid over a pre-determined route to take advantage of the best opportunities for seeing the hounds work as well as jumping all obstacles offered by the country crossed. Our DragHounds are descended from the Dumfriesshire Line of Hounds and have been bred for over 15 generations to follow a Drag Scent. We are are proud members of the Masters of DragHounds and BloodHounds Association (MDBA) and are NOT affiliated in any way with the British Hound Sports Association (BHSA).

As some of our hounds age we would like to find them lovely new countryside homes where they can enjoy retirement with a few years of a slower pace of life. They are used to Kennels so will need some retraining but are friendly and have basic commands installed. Both are un-neutered large dogs, but have large hearts to love you and your family (and treats!!) Both can go on a trial basis to you, if it doesn't work out they can come back to Kennels no problem. Both are healthy with no issues.

Athena 7yrs old is a lovely old girl who is looking for a slower paced life. Rocket at 8years old has been a grand servant and bred us some lovely pups is now looking for a sofa to sprawl on.

KENNEL DISPATCHES 🐢

This week the pack have been out in the grass yard every morning and out on bikes at 6am to beat the heat (still 26Β° at that time this am).

All hounds are looking well and although bouncing to go on exercise soon calm down by the gate on the way out. Upto a quiet hound jog with them now and out for about 45 mins as thats plenty in this heat.

The bitch pups are looking well and showing practice continues, the dog pups are little show offs and even Roger(hound) had his dancing shoes on this am.

Next stop Puppy Show on the 5th πŸ†
