Quote of the Day

We always start cub-hunting the moment the state of the harvest allows, and continue almost daily until 1 November.  Even though the ground may be as hard as iron, the training can continue, for there is no need at this time of year to take the horses out of a trot, nor in fact to go far at all, for a long, fast run is certainly not the object of the exercise.
. . .
The orthodox method, and the one we pursue, is to visit the strongholds first and then to stay there all morning, as this is the very best way to teach perseverance to a pack of hounds.  This essential quality of perseverance must, in the main, come from above.  In the first place it must be shown by the Master, and he in his turn has then to transmit it to his Huntsman, and so on right down to the hounds themselves.  Young hounds fortunately, like most juveniles, are extremely receptive and open to learning.
. . .
You must take no notice of critics, and you must be prepared to keep to the same ground all morning if necessary.  After all, this is a vital time of schooling for all concerned.
