welsh hounds

[VALLEY HOUNDS 43]

Is it me or has anyone else noticed the size of the modern day welsh hound is getting bigger? They stand alot taller than before and are alot bigger boned . Some i have noticed find it hard to push on through tight cover . To many out crosses maybe?

you have hit the nail on the head there i seen a pack yesterday of welsh hound type some real big dogs but really looked the part are they getting to big? i dont know as im really only getting into hounds the last few years and have only are own pack up and running from last season so im still learning the ins and out but i do like the smaller type for the ground i hunt tight cover and fields

but if i was hunting open moors hill and the likes of that i would go for a bigger quicker hound in my eyes you pick your type of hound to suit the land you hunt

 

all the best robert

All depends on what welsh lines your talking about

as was said the other day there a lot of packs breeding heavy big types for the shows but if you look in the right places there are still packs around with lighter hounds.

Old welsh hounds were alot smaller in the leg ,there are a few hunts especially up mid wales that still keep the old smaller line going , just noticed over the last few years they seem to be increasing in size

[gonetoearth 5,144]

There's. Small medium and large allways has been Hounds get bred and drafted. Same as allways New blood brought in old blood used just the same , seen a lot of welsh blood at Peterborugh No bigger no smaller than other years , huntsmans personal performance , BIG OR SMALL THE WELSH WILL OUT SING EM ALL !!!!

Didnt think i would ever say this but i saw them stay with pure fells on a 5 mile point last season, on a a very fast hill hunt. These hounds were a good type,very narrow but good legs and a light weight body.

 

Not my type of hound but they deserve credit where its due that day.

Phil Bennet + Mervyn Davies. One was 5', the other 7' , but both were welsh. Doesn't matter [bANNED TEXT] size, the important thing is being WELSH.
