This is why I came to prefer the AHBA hunt over the AKC field trial. At the AHBA hunt, I got to observe close up the beauty of the hound freely hunting off leash! I screwed up my knee that day, it hasn't been the same since but that isn't going to stop me from participating once I get me a new basset..............and even if things don't work out for a match before the next hunt season, I know a guy who is willing to share his hounds.........hint, hint! Just hope he can pair old Sal with an old hound who enjoys the hunt but has been slowed by age, same as she! If I am lucky enough to find a new pup, I'll have to drop some weight and begin endurance training to keep up!
