1 | Hounds went out 120 times last season.
2 | The 'Y' litter by NT Quaker and NT Mischief started well, especially Yuengling who is as reliable as her "mom."
3 | The drafted puppies are hunting regularly, Old Chatham Myers, Newbury and Nutmeg; and from Middletown Valley, Jingle.
4 | Weekly summer walk-outs were part of the training and exercise program.
5 | At the summer party, after hounds greeted guests, renowned veterinarian Dr. Scott Dove, MFH, explained handling hounds (and dogs) in emergency situations and in the hunt field.
6 | We participated in the trials at Aldie, maintained the N-T B cabin, and paraded the hounds at the Blue Ridge Hunt point to point races.
7 | As usual, the annual fundraiser and dinner at the Millwood Club was a pleasant evening and generated funds to cover the season.
8 | We published the second Huntsman’s diary, a gift to subscribers and supporters. MS. Barbara Batterton painted a lovely oil, "Hunting in Dorsey Orchard" that features Russ, Peter and the hounds walking in the corn field.
9 | N-T B continued the Adopt a Highway program on Westwood Rd. and collected over 41 bags of trash.
10 | Articles about the NTB and beagling were published in three local newspapers.
