List of minkhound packs of the United Kingdom
This is a list of minkhunting packs of the United Kingdom, registered with the Masters of Mink Hounds Association, the governing body for all British minkhound packs. The Hunting Act of 2004 made traditional mink hunting illegal, but most packs have changed their activities to hunt within the law, either by hunting rats and rabbits (both exempt), Trail hunting or by using the other exemptions in the Hunting Act, such as Falconry and using hounds to flush mink to guns.[1]
There are 22 registered minkhound packs in the UK, in addition to some private, unregistered packs, and a number of packs in the Republic of Ireland. The packs are listed according to the constituent nation of the UK in which they operate.
