Foxhounds enjoy the thrill of the sport under the direction of the huntsman.  For each meet, our huntsman selects hounds that best suit the country, and carefully crafts a pack that includes several more experienced hounds, as well as some younger hounds that are still learning yet very keen. 

With such varied country to hunt, the Camargo breeding program draws on the strengths of all four breeds of foxhounds.  We have many Crossbreds (Crossbred is considered a breed and may consist of any combination of English, American, and Penn-Marydel hounds).  Our huntsman finds that the hounds with more of the English in their blood do quite well when we hunt our Kentucky fixtures, as they display more stamina and toughness.  When in Indian Hill, she selects the hounds that have more Penn-Marydel and American blood.  The Penn-Marydel is especially good in thick covert and tight spaces, with a big voice and a cold nose, and a desire to hunt closer together (and closer to the huntsman) while still giving good sport.
