The Airedale Beagles is a beagle pack founded in 1891.
History
The pack was founded following a chance meeting between Dawson Jowett and Tom Clark, the former becoming the huntsman and the latter the kennelman. [1] The pair are believed to have made use of hounds from the Bradford Harriers which was disbanded several years earlier.[1]
The pack was trencher fed until 1922 when kennels and a huntsman’s house was built in Eldwick, the pack is now kennelled in Silsden.[1]
Hunt country
The country hunted is in West Yorkshire and North Yorkshire, bordering Lancashire.[2] The terrain is fell and rough pasture with high stone walls.[3]
