  Deer Hunting with Dogs
Dog hunting for deer is a Louisiana sport older than the state itself and one that infects the hunter with an excitement and obsession few others can match.
But dog hunting is all flash, with the excitement of hearing a good race and the adrenalin pumping in anticipation of waiting for the deer to bound into view.
Dog hunters are a helpful lot, however, and long established tradition requires hunters to take in lost dogs and notify their owners.

 Ban on hunting with dogs pits British townies vs. rural folks - The Boston Globe
Hunt supporters dismiss the arguments of uninformed townies -- as city folks are called -- noting that foxes kill farmers' chickens and lambs, and arguing that hunts help control the fox population.

The Puckeridge Hunt -- with its mix of upper-class lords and ladies, newly-arrived social climbers, and rural folks -- is representative of the scores of hunts held from late fall until early spring.

 Differences In Dog Training For Hunting Dogs
There is no doubt that the original dogs were kept for hunting purposes rather than companionship but over the years that relationship has evolved to include not only hunting, but also protection from enemies, companionship, guide services and tracking.
Dogs are still used for the purposes of flushing game from hiding spots and tracking wounded prey, much as they were used thousands of years ago.
The dog now occupies more of a retrieval status and it is quite possible to hunt a whole lifetime and never avail you of the services of a hunting dog.

 Economic Impacts of a Ban on Hunting with Dogs in Scotland: A report for the Scottish Executive Rural Affairs ...
The expenditure of hunt subscribers on the hunts and related inputs would be cut by £4.36m per year, of which £3.23m was on goods and services in Scotland and £0.53 on employees.

The fact is that drag hunting is not a close substitute for fox hunting and there is very considerable uncertainty that it would develop to such a degree that it retained much of the current hunting expenditure.

 About Hunting and Sporting Dogs
Many people compete with their dogs in a variety of dog sports, including agility, flyball, and many others.
Often, highly energetic mixed-breeds are left with shelters or rescue groups, where they are sought by owners with the caring, patience, and drive to train them for dog sports, turning unwanted dogs into healthy, mentally and physically stimulated award winners.
While this tradition is changing, some sports still remain open only to one breed of dog, such as greyhound racing, or to one type of dog, such as sheepdog trials open only to dogs of known herding ancestry.
