Looks like they are wondering where the fox went. Interesting breed and strange pronunciation...always called it "bell-voir". ;-)

They are true bred Old English Foxhound. They are from one of the oldest packs of hounds in England.

They are based in the Vale of Belvoir at Belvoir Castle. The pronunciation is one of those local lost in folklore things that is so common in the UK.

They certainly are, the hunt will be celebrating 250 years of existence this year, so they should have got their breeding program sorted by now. Thanks for dropping in.

Andrew, I zoomed in on this, and I am amazed at how many hound dog eyes you have in focus all at once. Wow...I was having trouble doing that with my one little Westie dog last week. Good job :thumbup:

They're very handsome dogs btw..

Let's see--they've been hunting for 250 years, and haven't found whatever it is they're looking for yet? Maybe it's time to try another breed?

However, they're quite handsome, even if they're good for nothing. Wonderful shot!
