davey 310 Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) Whats your views on keeping 2 dogs together in same kennel / run people keep saying bitch would be better /easier but I don't want the hassle in seasons separating them when In heat but also don't want fighting ?

davey 310 Posted May 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 To be fair it's something my old man said ( he is 60 odd ) but I swear he has had 2 dogs in one run and kennelled together !! Quote Link to post
freelance 448 Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 I only have the one dog now, but preban had a couple of runners and one or two earth dogs and used to have a block of four kennels. I always kenneled mine separately, as you never know what they can get up two when your not there, ive kenneled a few dogs together when i have had hunting holidays away and your struggling for somewhere to put the dogs. But apart from that i am old school and i personally would prefer all mine separate Atb 1 Quote Link to post

To be fair I'm of the View they are a pack animal so I want to kennel them together plus having space for two runs/kennels plus I have deerhound x which are laid back Quote Link to post
skycat 6,174 Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Some lurchers are as miserable as sin if they are on their own: others need their own space. It all depends on the individual/sex/temperament etc. Quote Link to post
