Welcome to the new site for the Masters of Draghounds and Bloodhounds Association.
The new site contains comprehensive information and contact details for the leading packs of bloodhounds and draghounds across Great Britain. Many now have their own web sites, and the "Member Hunts" page has links through to each hunt's page on this site and their web sites.
All the hunts welcome visitors and their contact details can be found on their member's page.
Draghunting dates back to the early 1800s. It involves the pursuit of hounds following an artificial scent laid down by a runner or mounted rider. Bloodhounds follow the 'clean boot', the scent of a human quarry.
