Other Notes:	Strongly made hounds with a great deal of ability to persevere without help are necessary for the country. This has been accomplished by the judicious crossing of American and English foxhounds. English ancestry produces speed and drive. American blood gets excellent nose and strong voice, required in our large woods. There are generally a total of 50 couple of hounds, of which about 40 couple are entered and 10 couple are puppies. Green Spring hunts three days per week with an average of 17 couple of hounds and averages 110 hunting days per season. Therefore each entered hound must hunt an average of more than once a week, requiring great stamina and rapid recuperative ability. A hound will usually hunt from five to eight seasons.

Hunt Country

Hunt Country:

The Country extends about 25 by 12 miles. The home and north countries are open and rolling, with a great deal of grass. Some sections lying between are rough and heavily wooded. Post-and-rail and board fences predominate. The east side of the country adjoins the Elkridge-Harford Hunt country; on the west and northwest the country adjoins the Howard County-Iron Bridge and the Frederick County line.
