OK, I'm going to stick my oar in here. This is a good time to admonish everyone to read the fine print in their adoption contracts. In this day and age, there should be no problem finding an adoption group which will allow one to course one's dogs. If your current adoption group will not, walk away and find another one.
They don't, however, some adoption groups require those who adopt to sign a waiver stating they will NEVER course their hounds. If they do, the hounds can be removed from their care. I had to chastise our newly-crowned King (at His Coronation, yet) about this. :) However, I am aware of at least one time that some spectators, who were not associated with us at all, were making some side bets. And, personally, I like having a hound person on the BOD, rather than having to explain (for the umpteenth time) who we are, what we're doing, why we're doing it, and yes, it IS allowed.
