Myopia Foxhounds
The Myopia Foxhound pack was established in 1882. The first pack consisted of 10 couple of English Foxhounds, imported from Lord Whilloughby de Broke's Warwickshire Hunt in England. The first kennel was located at the Myopia Clubhouse in Winchester, but soon moved to the current location in Hamilton.
Today, the Myopia pack consists of 18 couple of Foxhounds, of which 7 couple are English, 10 couple Crossbred, and 1 couple Penn-Marydel. The Myopia Hounds have distinguished themselves with their confirmation, obedience, and speed at the New England Hunts' Hound Shows and the New England Hound Races. The pack will continue to develop under Richard’s breeding program.
The Myopia hounds go out with horses sixty days each year and walk out with the hunt staff on all other days throughout the year.
The Kennel has housed hounds for over 100 years, and was completely renovated in 2003. There are three lodges, each with an outside run.
