A short update about the legalization of hare hunting with Magyar Agars in Hungary:

As most of you may know, hunting with sighthounds has been prohibited in Hungary since WWII. The legislation has changed very slowly in recent years, and finally, from this year it is legal and possible to hunt hare, red fox and golden jackal with Magyar Agars under very strict rules. The first exam - in 74 years - to qualify as „agarász” ( = person who hunts with sighthounds) was held yesterday, where 16 people took the exam successfully. Two more exam opportunities are due next week.

What is necessary in order to hunt with a Magyar Agar legally in Hungary:

- take a state hunting exam (shooting practice and exam are not necessary)

- take an additional exam to qualify to hunt with MA

- with these 2 exams, the person can get a hunting permit

- the dog must pass a hunting ability test (VAV) specially for MAs.

There are two types of the hunting ability test. The „artificial” one is very similar to a coursing, with the dogs chasing an artificial lure in pairs. The „live hare” version is a real hunting situation, where the dogs chase live hares in their natural environment. This can only be held during the hunting season of the hare (October - December).

So how does this affect the international MA community?

- As the Magyar Agar is originally a hunting breed, it is hoped that the hunting ability will be taken into consideration when making decisions about breeding.

- The state hunting exam, and the additional exam can only be taken by Hungarian residents. The VAV test can be taken by any MA (with pedigree or registration papers). So if you wish to try hunting with your MA in Hungary, the dog can take the artificial VAV test with you (its foreign owner), or the live hare VAV test with a Hungarian leader who is authorized to do so (has all the necessary exams). At a hunt, the dog needs to be led by an authorized person, but of course the owner can accompany him/her.

Good that, sandy.  Interesting to read their hare hunting season lasts October- December.

That looks like it's done a bit of something anyway. Could do with a bit of soft bedding in it's kennel maybe though?

Although hares breed all year to a degree its based on evidence from Spain, who also stop early, by the end of January as they find hares courtship starting in by the end of January, its considered unsporting to course hares with sex on the mind in Spain. Plus its easier to support a case for hunting if you are giving a wide closed season.
