The Foxhound Club of North America
Mission Statement

Membership in The Foxhound Club of North America is open to anyone and everyone who is interested in our sport. The object of the Club is to promote and further interest in the selection, breeding and development of the Foxhound as used in the pursuit of foxes, coyote, or other legal quarry, by mounted followers. We endeavor to promote this interest through the support of shows, seminars, publications, videos and demonstrations. The Club is financed by the payment of modest dues, plus the sale of our publications and the Club lapel pin. Each year a substantial portion of our income goes toward the financial support of ten different sanctioned hound shows throughout North America.

There is little doubt that the Foxhound, as a breed, has shown great improvement in conformation over the past 15 to 20 years. Hound shows provide an outstanding opportunity to see your hounds in comparison with other packs, to see the success of other bloodlines, and to evaluate the best breeding program for your own hunt. Shows are becoming increasingly popular as are foxhound performance trials which the FCNA started in 2000.

Clearly, the more members who support the FCNA, the more money we will have to deliver to our ten shows. The improvement of the breed directly relates to the improvement of our sport. For this reason, we urge you to become a member of the FCNA and personally support the hounds which give us our great sport.
