Chapter V. 



MAKING A PACK. 



TN making a pack I maintain that breeding is 

 everything; that was the view my father 

 held, and there was not much about hounds 

 and hunting that he did not know ; and my 

 own long experience has proved his opinion to 

 be correct. I always say that you must use a 

 dog that '^ drives," and an all-round good one 

 in his work as well as in his looks, and select 

 for him a suitable bitch. Thus you may 

 improve your pack vastly by careful breeding. 

 I have always understood that the Fitzwilliams 

 have been noted as a good pack of hunting 

 hounds, with plenty of ''drive" in them. 

 Perhaps they have been lucky in their hunts- 

 men, securing quiet and quick men. I can 

 speak for one, Tom Sebright.
