Hounds Magazine was first published twenty-eight years ago as an interest in hunting and a lack of reading material at the time, encouraged the editors to enter the publishing world. With the help of the Welshpool Printing Group, who encouraged and taught them all the technical aspects of the magazine production, HOUNDS has now started its twenty-eighth year. It is a subscription only publication, although single copies can be purchased at any time, and some are sold in a few outlets in the West country.
