i count them as a pack ONLY if they work together. they can all follow the same line & not be working together.

steve years ago i worked 7 assorted dogs and if you think about it of course they are a pack i was just thinkin havin 4 beagles now could i class them (i know they are a workin pack)but as you say people only think of hounds as bein a pack(go's with the territory) but now i have hounds just thinkin cos me mate 100 yards away has 20 odd couples of foxhounds(now thats a real pack).?
