one dog aint no god localy or 50 mile raduis alot of qaurry and a lot of running if you no were to go mate , and how to work it at nite etc and good to rest them a nite and take another jukel , and then if you want a days rabbiting or flushing game you can rest one uo 2 or three is perfect localy or 50 mile raduis one would be good but if he gets a bad tumble well he can be off same if they hit a woood and get bruised up making contact no dogs indestructible mate even the best if you are out alot
