Hunting with beagles on foot in the English fashion is a revelation. The illustrious Nantucket-Treweryn Beagles keep those rabbits busy, and the Wolver Beagles
are a charming pack to follow.

The Ashland Bassets, Virginia's oldest basset hound pack, is a never-failing delight, with its experienced staff and its musical hounds.

There are many fine fox hunts in Virginia. I have the honor of following the Blue Ridge Hunt, covering the same ground as Lord Fairfax and George Washington in the unspoiled Shenandoah Valley.
