Nar Valley Bloodhounds take part in 'clean boot' hunting, in which dogs follow a human scent.
A hunting group has called on the government to carefully consider the wording of proposed legislation to ban trail hunting.
"Comparing us with trail hunting is like comparing a hockey team to a football team," said Charlie Ward, Nar Valley's huntsman."We aren't asking our hounds to follow any scent of an animal, we're asking them to follow just the pure scent of our human runners."Clean boot hunting involves riders on horseback following a pack of bloodhounds chasing a human runner.Some groups own dozens of hounds and are run as businesses.
