Hound dogs

We went to photograph the departure of a hunt. I forgot my camera... couldn't believe it! My husband was very kind to let me use his fabulous Nikon!
There were more than 50 dogs in the car ready to chase rabbits. I hate hunting but I love the see the horses and dogs involved.

Your lucky woman! :-)

Ooh, am with you, hunting is horrible but dogs great! Fab pic, strange to see them all together like that!

[Trina P Holub]

I never thought about how they would need to transport all those hunting dogs... It's quite comical, like a doggy paddy wagon. Great shot!

[Melissa Pike]

What a unique capture!

[Arthur Loosley]

Nice shot of some wonderful canines, but how dreadful that they are kept and trained for the sole purpose of driving other creatures to exhaustion and a horrific ritual killing.

[Peggy Sirk]

Fabulous shot, Helene! I hate hunting too. But I do love seeing how horse, rider and dogs work together. Just wish they were going after clay targets or an artificial scent trail.

[John]

Look a bit cramed in there though

[Suelbiz]

Wow! A two story home on wheels. Cool capture!

[Muse]

Must be nice to see them, but I'm with you, I hate hunting too. I just hope these dogs are well-cared of when they don't hunt

[bernadette mcelligott]

Great shot, Those dogs are super cute, and I agree as well, I hate blood sports, not hunting itself. I forgot my camera once as well and I am still kicking myself.

[Laura Demko]

they look ready to go!

[The Blue Gnu]

Got to love those dogs!

[Linda Paul]

Well done shot. I agree with you about the hunt.

[Carole Mattingly]

Wow, what a unique shot. The dogs on the toop row look like they can't wait to get out and chase the rabbits.

[Margaret Tryon]

Helene, excellent shot.

That's a lot of dogs - they look like they want out!
