History

The pack was founded in 1891 following a chance meeting between Dawson Jowett and Tom Clark, the former becoming the huntsman and the latter the kennelman. The pair are believed to have made use of hounds from the Bradford Harriers which was disbanded several years earlier.

The pack was trencher fed until 1922 when kennels and a huntsman's house was built in Eldwick. The pack is now kennelled in Silsden.

Since the passing of the Hunting Act of 2004, the pack hunts scent trails and rabbits and is very occasionally called to locate hares that have been injured following a shoot, all of which is permitted under the legislation.
