Thread Name: What are jubal hounds?
Subject: RE: What are jubal hounds?
I read this thread yesterday.
This morning I went to a joint meet of the Bleasdale Beagles and the Armargh and Richill Beagles. Near Tebay in Cumbria.
I had a chat to both of the Huntsmen (both keen singers) and I told them about this thread. One suggested that it was a corruption of the word tuneful. The bark of a pack of Hounds is known as "music" To describe the cry of a pack of hounds as tuneful seems quite likely.
HOWEVER, I then looked at this list of traditional Hound names and, surprise surprise it contains the name Jubel.
