The sport of Hunting with Hounds is essentially a mix of human and animal players where the humans follow a pack of hounds to chase the "quarry" until it either "goes to ground" or the hounds loose the scent. Fox Hunting, the best known "Hound Sport", incorporates the equine element by placing the humans on horseback. In the case of Beagling and Bassetting, the humans are on foot and the "quarry" is either a rabbit or hare.
These sports are governed by associations that ensure the packs adhere to strict standards regarding hounds, conditions of kennel facilities, and conduct during the hunt. Packs of hounds are either owned by a private individual or a "subscription pack", owned by a club.
In the United States today, the sport of hunting with hounds has evolved to where the actual chase is the object of the "Hunt". In fact, the hunt ends when the "quarry" retreats to a hole and survives unharmed to be chased another day.
