Keep A Pack Or Just The One

[alcamy22 7]

alryt lads was out last night with two of my lurchers one being a collie-whip-grey my rabbit dog as such soft mouth good coat and feet and stamina i only ever run her on rabbits then other dog i deergeyxgreysalbullgrey ill run her on all game was chatting to one of my mates today who just has the one dog got me thinking what do you lads prefer having a few dogs for different quarry or do u prefer just having the one dog for all game obviously you obtain a closer bond with dog if its just you and it anyway what are your thoughts

usualy2 but had a litter so il b keeping 2 pups plus my 1 so 3 always have a back up plan incase 1 dog gets injured u have another to run i just love having them around me diferent character in each 1

[woz 260]

Iv been down to one and had a four....as strict as you promise you will be you will always favour one dog over the rest...the others won't get 100% of your attention so will suffer......I'd love one dog that does it all ..BUT if you get an injury and only have one dog your potentialy out for the season....

Just the one for me..

agree with woz . i have 2 but always take the one out as he will do both rabbit and fox on the lamp where the other is a rabbit only dog so i use him just incase the white dog is injured,

i'll be getting another pup in soon that im hoping will be an all rounder , i couldnt keep a few lurchers doing one job each

At the least, 2, and at the most 5 - ranging from a 23" TTS whippety type, great for bunnies, up to a 34" TTS who would take most things. 2 of mine are the main breadwinners, one is elderly, the other 2 are just a bit useless but lovely characters, and as a whole the pack is a lovely mix.

ive only the one .. but how many people have work for two .. if i ever had 2 there would be a bit off an age gap with the older one just beeing semi retired .. unless younger gets injuured

[keeganrees 196]

34 tts what is it half horse ?

[Carraghs Gem 1,675]

Ive just the one lurcher now... Wont be adding any more lurchers to my household for a long time i hope

[General lee 979]

Ideally would be one that takes all quarry but some don't so ya sometimes need 2 pre ban of course

I've 3 dogs 2 daytime dogs and a lamp dog I like a pack of dogs more fun when out mooching seeing them jump around together

If i could get one good enough at everything id keep one....

 

 

 

 

 

 

But i keep two, Try and tend too keep a big un and a litlle un, Works for me if they go lame still can get out ect ect....

[woz 260]

Iv three at the moment....working gsd...9 month old lurcher pup and punk the Mali.....I wouldnt have anything to run this season so the Mali is the lamping dog.....quite serprised at her on bunnies....

[Maximus Ferret 2,063]

Any pics of the mali Woz? I've seen vids of working malinois on utube - they seem to have lots of energy. Is she calm or does she get exited and crush all the bunnies?
