How many dogs

[hedz31 1,308]

There 3 lurchers here,i have an older dog of 5 years old that a young lad is working this season and ive got a 16months old wheaten/greyhound bitch that i am concentrating on this season hence the older dog loaned out and theres a horrible saluki based lurcher thats my lads thats 16 weeks old if i can put up with the bloody thing i guess that will be running next season i think 2 lurchers is enough to suit anybody really or 3 tops if folk out there have more than that i cant see how they can give the dogs work unless there doubling up or out 7 days a week

regards hedz

It's OK to have as many dogs as you want, as long as you can afford to feed them properly, can afford the vet bills or insurance; can give them proper kenneling and have enough work for them or can give them the excersize they need. I've had three dogs before, but prefer to have two; but thats just my preference.

 

Cheers.

i just got the one at the min bullxridgeback hound have keeped dogs for a good few years and have to say he,s my best so far to work

9 here, 1 is Bedlington terrier O/H's pet alright for a bit of fun bushing, 4 lurcher's are retired due to injuries youngest retiree is 6, 2 are 10 and one 14.

 

That leaves the 4 Salukis, 1 is 6 year old, 2 are her sons 1 of which I kept from the litter and the other came back to me this year, meaning am over dogged by one as I have a young bitch coming on as well.

 

Being self employed and having family and horses it has been a struggle to get them as much work as usually would but they are not lacking exercise and are getting there teeth into something most days/nights.

 

For the future I will ideally only have 2 or 3 at the most ( the 3 only being when 1 of the 3 is old IE 9+).

 

I ended up with loads because the lurcher's were getting injuries left right and centre so I ended having to have a whole heap of them to be able to guarantee having someting to get out with.

i have 2 at the minute, one is semi retired and ive got a 2 yr old so he has just started this season properly, could really be doing with another,

never had more than two at any time,sometimes i feel one is never enough and two is more than enough lol but they get plenty work which is all that matters really,would do my head in if i couldn't get out due to an injury so pays for me in the long run

only need one does the job he,s asked at the moment but have a pup of him coming on great guns

I'm new to ferreting and have 3 dogs a Border Collie 3 that is a fan of birds, a Lurcher bitch 2, and their pup 5 months. 3 dogs are plenty for me and we always have something to do. My dogs are my buddies for life.

For me in an ideal world two is sufficent.. At the minute I only got the one but doesnt look like she is going to make the grade...
