Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the origins and traditions of fox hunting in Ireland, particularly from the mid-18th century onward. An esteemed sport with royal roots, fox hunting in Ireland developed along similar lines as in England, evolving from smaller hunting establishments kept by private individuals. The book examines the roles of prominent family packs, such as those of the Dukes of Beaufort and Rutland, in shaping the modern hound through breeding and sharing bloodlines. The author presents evidence of the existence of private packs in Ireland from well before the end of the 18th century, including those maintained by Mr Thomas Conolly of Castletown and Mr William B. Ponsonby of Bishopscourt. These establishments played a crucial role in the development of organized hunting in Kildare. The book investigates the influence of English hunting practices and hounds on the Irish sport, shedding light on the evolution of fox hunting techniques and the establishment of the modern Kildare pack. The book's insights contribute to our understanding of the historical and cultural significance of fox hunting in Ireland, capturing the spirit of camaraderie and sporting tradition that has characterized the pursuit for centuries.
