I wish i only had 2 again,i often dream of having less and the luxury that goes with it.At the mo ive 2 adult lurchers,2 adult terriers,a sapling terrier and 2 terrier pups,i seem to spend all my time either Educating,feeding,cleaning or working the bloody things,stick to 2 mucker,its more productive.

for many years now i've just had two at a time, normally get a pup in when the other reaches 4 or 5

 

when i was younger i sometimes had as many as 5 but to be honest none of them got the one on one they deserved either training or work wise

For mooching those two should cover most bases. Running more than two dogs, especially lurchers, takes a lot of dedication and time.enjoy what you have, keep an eye out for the future and be honest with your own limitations and requirements. If you don't have the space and time to do 3 dogs justice, stick with what you have for now
