The Old Berkeley Beagles, or The OBB, is a beagle pack.
History
In 1919 a pack of beagles was founded by a Major H. Elleshaw, known as the RAF Uxbridge Beagles because they were housed on RAF Uxbridge.[1]
In 1923 the pack was sold to a Mr R. Wigram of Penn and in 1926 became a subscription pack at which time it was named the Old Berkeley Beagles, the name chosen as the pack was hunted over the same country as the Old Berkeley (foxhound) Hunt.[1]
The pack is kennelled near Aylesbury.
Hunt country
The country hunted is in Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.[2]
