Well, another highly successful Houndshow weekend has come to an end, and it will go down as (probably) one of the best and most enjoyable for many a year. Everything went well and even the weather, which has not been kind in recent times, was near perfect.  We were overwhelmed with the response and positive comments. Our thanks to exhibitors, sponsors, partner shows and trade stand holders for wonderful support. The Hound Association committee worked tirelessly to bring everything together and received great support from our judges and volunteer stewards. Much work goes into the show, and the set-up team were hard at work from early Thursday morning and were still working breaking everything down and storing for next year long after everyone else had gone home, something I think too many either don’t realise or take for granted. Like all our committee they are of course volunteers. The team have had our debrief and planning has already started for 2027. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to Stafford for Houndshow 2027 on July 17th & 18th
