60 THE FOXHOUND 



Some hounds have a predilection for running 

 a dog track. This is almost as bad as the 

 " mutton habit " and calls for equally prompt, 

 heroic, and energetic treatment along the same 

 lines. 



Between hunting seasons hounds should have 

 sufficient active and regular work to keep them 

 in discipline, muscles hardened, flesh down, and 

 pads well indurated. They will thus be ready 

 to resume their training on the opening of their 

 second season.
