[bird 10,014]

only the one for me at the moment .had 2 a few years ago which is ok if you can put the work infront of them

 

spot on having (enough) work for more than 1 dog , how many really (give) enough work for there 1 dog never mind 2-3 not many i bet , ive got 1 5 1/2 years old and a 5 month old pup, so might work out regards lamping in 18 months time, as the younger will get the harder nights, the older few easy nights+ mooching

also a point worth considering how many get the full potentiall from keeping several animals , also getting ones jukel truly running fit over a several mths through the season can be a fete in itself . atb bunnys.

I have 3 lurchers and a terrier. The lurcher and terrier are sort of retired but still get a few days out a season beating or ferreting. Then i have a bull/grey and a saluki/grey. They are both fairly good at there jobs but the bull lurcher will catch most things round the old gravel pits/ quarries and will quite often catch in think cover. The saluki/grey is niegh on useless on this sort of ground but on the farmland he is very good and i would say gets grafted. This is the first day this week my dogs have had a rest and i still might try my luck and go for a wee mooch this evening.

 

All the best
