Légende

Royal Staghounds: Prosperous, Woodman, Rigolette, Chanticleer, 1856. 'The Royal Staghounds, as we have before mentioned, are well-bred fox hounds...Although we cannot admit that stag-hunting is anything better than a makeshift for something infinitely superior, which may be excused in men who have not time for the long, uncertain days of fox-hunting in a good country; yet we must admit that a good run...will test the best horsemanship; and we do not know how a day can be more pleasantly spent than in a journey to the Ascot Kennels, and the Swinley Deer Paddocks...The Royal pack once suffered severely from kennel lameness; but, after infinite pains, expense, and loss, this fatal disease has been subdued'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
