PREFACE. The absence of a book on the American Foxhound, devoted to the notable strains in all parts of the country, and the widespread and increasing interest and popularity of the breed, has induced the publisher, with the generous aid of some of our best known foxhound men, to compile and place a work at the disposal of the hunting world embodying not only the ideas of invidual hunting men, but concrete facts, the consensus of opinion of the entire American field. The breeding and hunting of foxhounds by the sportsmen of America dates from the earliest settlement of the continent, but it has been done individually, resulting in the development of many excellent strains peculiarly adapted to the section of the country hulited, and histories of these strains from able pens have been secured. The work, however, of harmonizing then and typifying and standardizing an ideal foxhound properly qualified for the varying needs of the country at large was left to the National Foxhunters Association and the Brunswick Foxhound Club. Both of these clubs hold annual foxhound field trials, and the same system of judging is used to obtain uniformity of opinion. The annual hound show of the Brunswick Foxhound Club is the only one in the country, and sets the standard far the American Kennel Club shows, so that from Boston to San Francisco the same type wins. It is all these facts we have striven to lay before our hunting readers, to assist them in breeding, training, hunting and showing the up-to-date American Foxhound and if we have succeeded in any degree, we will be more than compensated for the labor of compilation....
