Set in the cream of the Fernie Hunt country, Blaston Hound Show took place on Sunday 26 June at Blaston in Leicestershire.
The annual show is in its 14th year and continues to grow in popularity, with 19 packs of hounds competing for the honours this year.
It was a particularly successful day for the Grove and Rufford and the Meynell and South Staffs in the modern foxhound classes, while the Percy and the Wynnstay took the major honours in the Old English classes.
