To be honest if we went out to intentionally hunt we wouldn't of had so many dogs!! It was a leisurely, social summer walk with a few mates, the sort of things we do during the summer and we purposely walk where there will be a low chance of something popping up!

Out of interest (and please don't get defensive) how many working lurchers do you have? I find it really amazing that folk manage to have enough game/time to really push and test their dogs when they have more than two, especially if they have a life - i.e family/job. It's a bit like when folk get into ferrets - start with two, then four and soon have 8 or something silly and just not the work for them. Nice healthy, happy looking pack though, a credit to you guys.

Ideation i myself own 4 of those dogs, a retired bitch, a young pup that may possibly not have much of a woking life due to a ruptured cruciate knee ligament when younger, a 4 year old bitch who is my only worker at present and a greyhound that i may have fun with on the lamp but she has already bust a toe and a few others on her feet so she may be fecked after abit of hard running, MLB has a 6 year old dog that will soon be retired due to a recurring back injury, an 18 month bitch that will be shown alot of work this season and a 9 month bull x bitch in replace of the 6 year old and a couple of veterans, our mates each have 2 dogs each one of which lives in a vilage not to far from us, the dogs that work get shown enough to get tested as we travel alot to work them also. The retired ones will stay until there last days. If we didn't have the work for them, we wouldn't have them tbh. 2 dogs each have plenty of work to do and by the end of the season 1 dog or the other is laid up through injury and only working part time helps get alot of time with the dogs to! Happy hunting!! Oh and as for ferrets we only have 2 each.

Cheers for the reply and not taking it personally. I know that with retired dogs, and up and coming pups, you can often have double the dogs in your kennel than you really work. However i've seen a few folk on here that have like 6 working lurchers etc, or go out with groups of friends so anyone night/day they are running 6/8 dogs. Maybe they have a lot of injuries or a huge amount of game, but if your dogs are not super accident prone, two fit, working, capable dogs can work and take a huge amount of game, and i think are not really tested until they have had a good 4+ years or working something like 4/5 times a week (for a good session). Maybe i'm wrong . . . .
