Ossie 11 Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 i've only got the one dog at the mo', which is a pain in the arse as he's been out of action a fair bit over the last 3 months, and is out of action at the moment (roe + blackthorn bush + Vicar's garden = fecked dog). i had to move back in with my parents, both lurcher people, last June. since then my mum has frequently imparted the words of wisdom on me " you always need 2 dogs in case one gets injured!". right-o. i'll get another. but i'm not allowed another, because of Captain Irritable (my father). he doesn't want anymore himself, so i can't have anymore!

Rocks 77 Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 (edited) eight or nine for next season as I run them double or triple five or six days a week. Probable nine so I always have a fresh team at home. It is pretty icy and cold and snowy here and injuries are high at times, so I do not want to be without. Started with seven this year and ended up buying more as I was down to two at christmas. See what happens if I move then three. These are from last October.
