[I]n conjunction with the Central Committee of Fell Packs and by kind permission of the Lowther Estate, the Lowther Show once again plays host to the Lowther Hound Show this August.
The Lowther Hound Show is another of the Lowther Show’s headline attractions across the weekend, offering a fantastic opportunity for various member hunts to get together, speak with sponsors and visitors within the dedicated marquee and find out everything there is to know about the types of hounds competing in this year’s Show.
With some of hunting’s finest set to judge, including those from the Foxhounds and the Harehounds, the 2017 Lowther Hound Show is a must see event. Don’t forget to check out the Lowther Hunt Singing Competition too, which takes place across the weekend. Organised by Country Voices, the Lowther Hunt singers will be situated in the Hunting Marquee following the Foxhound Show and the Parade of Hounds.
The Lowther Hound Show invites everybody to get involved and take part in the judging, with an Amateur Judging Competition involving the fell packs taking place on the Sunday of the Show. After the parade on the Sunday the public will get to judge, on paper their choice of 1st 2nd & 3rd, the three bitch hounds for each pack.
New for 2017, the Lowther Hound Show is delighted to welcome the Scottish Championship over the weekend of the Lowther Show. More information on this will be released shortly.
