THE OLDEST COMPLETE OUTDOOR HOUND SHOW IN AMERICA

Bryn Mawr Hound Show Show Chairman and Radnor Joint-MFH Christian Hueber II died on October 28th, at the age of 49,  after a courageous fight with pancreatic cancer.  During a ceremony at Radnor’s Thanksgiving meet Senior Master Frank H. “Terry” Griffin III lauded Mr. Hueber’s passion for hounds and hunting and then rode off to disburse his ashes over hunt country.

Mr. Hueber was such an avid foxhunter that on Radnor off days he could often be found at the Rolling Rock Hunt where he served as honorary whipper-in.  He also went to London for extended stays on business which enabled him to hunt with many of the great English and Irish packs.  A student of hounds in particular, Mr. Hueber befriended notable huntsman such as Captain Ronnie Wallace and Hugh Robards, among others.

Mr. Hueber was ubiquitous as the Show Chairman of the BM Hound Show.  He was also a Vice President at the Peterborough Royal Foxhound Show in England and had few peers in the arcana of hound breeding.  As Master of Radnor, Mr. Hueber was instrumental in keeping open the Brandywine Hounds hunting territory for Radnor. 

He was educated at the Haverford School and the University of Pennsylvania, and was a member of the Rittenhouse, Philadelphia, and Merion Cricket Clubs.  He owned Philpen motors, a Jaguar dealership, and was on the board of the Radnor Hunt Concours d’Elegance, a motor-car show, for which he ran the road rally.

Known to his friends for his encyclopedic knowledge of foxhunting, he was also the co-author of Bentley Continental Sports Saloon, the definitive study of the Bentley R Type Continental of which he owned one of the two hundred and eight that were produced.  This was the original car of a certain fictional British secret agent before switching to Aston Martins.

Mr. Hueber is survived by his wife of eighteen years, Trish Hueber, also an avid foxhunter.

The Bryn Mawr Hound Show Association is deeply saddened by this loss.
