About Farmington's Foxhounds: There are several types of foxhounds: English Hounds, American Hounds, Penn-Marydel Hounds, and other Crossbred Hounds. At Farmington, the hounds are American Hounds, which means they are slightly finer and faster than some other types and give "tongue" or "voice" in a distinctive manner. They are usually tri-color (white, black, and tan) or lemon and white, but can be almost solid white or mostly red, etc.

A Photo Tribute

We will, fair queen, up to the mountain's top
And mark the musical confusion
Of hounds and echo in conjuction...

...........................Never did I hear
Such gallant chiding; for, besides the groves,
The skies, the fountains, every region near,
Seemed all one mutual cry, I never heard
So musical a discord, such sweet thunder.

................A cry more tuneable
Was never holloaed to nor cheered with horn....

From William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream
