76 HOUNDS. 



Outside the grass yard, bordering on the road, a 

 belt of larch would be an improvement to the 

 surroundings, and if the road in the immediate 

 vicinity of the back of the kennels was made of tar 

 gravel, 6 inches deep, and well rolled in, it would 

 have the advantage of cleanliness, and would always 

 look neat and tidy. 



The best aspect for kennels is South-East, or 

 S.S.E., as they then get the early morning sun, and 

 are cooler in the summer in the afternoon. 



The kennelman's room can be placed over the 

 feeding room, as it is most essential for the lodging 

 rooms to have the advantage of all the available air 

 space, and I prefer the roof not to be ceiled. All 

 doorways through which the hounds pass should be 

 faced with bull-nose bricks, which prevents hounds 

 injuring their hips. 



In many situations this plan would have to be 

 altered or modified, but it is fairly compact, and 

 gives some idea of the accommodation a pack of 

 hounds requires.
