Ive seen the the odd occasion when ive had five dogs on the yard and all laid up but i never went for six.
I was younger then and you could make as much money lamping as you could going to work so thats what we did for a living even then though it would be the pup i reared at the time who would get the most work.
Now im happy with the one and even though im out every day[never been one for working for someone else] he will never see to hard a life when the pups grown at about two -two and a half then i will get another ready to fill his boots.
Its suprising how much work a well bred lurcher
