We had 2 in one pack I done a bit for and I found they were well able to hunt but would have no problem doing there own thing. Then my mate ran 4/5 1/2 crosses with another pack and they were well able to hunt but one or 2 at the end of the day when u would be calling them up had the tendency to hang about a bit in cover. But u would let them away with that they were great to draw and always up the front on a hunt
