Who let the dogs out

All 32 of them and yes....I was covered in mud after this shot.

They belong to the hunt and the guy in the picture knows the name of every dog.

I can only imagine the noise! And are you sure it was mud?

Good image. Was it a scene you just stumbled across, or was it planned?

Thanks Catdaddy, I did just stumble upon this and asked if I could take some shots as we talked. The dogs were remarkably well behaved until I got close but they were just big softies really...This is only 10mins away from were I live and it's the first time I've ever seen the dogs from the hunt....let alone one guy walking 32 dogs! Imagine the mess....
Thanks again.
Ken.

Good shot Ken. To see the control these guys have over a whole pack of dogs is amazing.

i used to bump into the local one to Bethersden some monrings, 2 people, oodles of dogs and a large quantity of frustration waiting for them to get round my car, ALWAYS one who sticks his face all over the drivers door window, drool all over....

Nice shot Ken, the lighting really helps too!

Foxhounds though - not Beagles.

That's only 10 min from where you live? Lucky you. That's quite the scenery. It's a very nice shot Ken. Lots going on there, I like it alot. I"m not a dog fan myself. If I stumbled across that many dogs in my travels I think I would have a stroke,lol.

I was bit by a dog when I was 6yrs old.

I think you could have worded that one a little better, Jewel! (Know what you mean though...)

I tripped over a tree root and opened my head up on a park bench when I was a kid cos I was being chased by a yappy little thing that was attempting to be a dog. At least, that's what I blame it on lol

I love 'em though. The drummer in my band has the softest piece of sh!t dog you've ever seen - you really haven't lived until you've had a 160lbs Rottweiler trying to sit on your lap!

Word that a little better??? Alrighty then.

Anyway Chris it wasn't the dogs fault to be honest. I was walking by with a ski pole in my hand. I saw the dog was on a leash and gave him a little poke.

I was just 6 years old and didn't know any better. The leash was longer than I thought. When I ran, so did he,lol. So it was totally my fault I know. As for a rottweiler on my lap. I have had that believe it or not. My neighbor used to have one, and the more I went over the more I got used to it. He was a suck too. I think I"m ok now if the owner is there but dogs on their own running around to this day I'm leary of.
