Dog lovers are now numbered by their tens of thousands, and in addition to shows of their favourites, owners are also liberally catered for in the shape of working trials, for during the season competitions for bloodhounds, pointers, setters, retrievers, spaniels and sheepdogs are held.
However, as mentioned above, the frequency of shoeing for horses engaged in draghunting and following bloodhounds is less than that for foxhunting.
That said, those of us who have had bloodhounds have, I regret to say, had to cheat a little bit.
