I am talking about digging dogs.You only need the amount of dogs to do the work you got.If you only have 20 digs a season and own 3 digging dogs and your digging partner owns 2 digging dogs, plus the young dogs coming on. Simple to many dogs. I know of 2 digging partners, 1 has 8 terriers the other 6 and they breed every year at least 2 litters each. If you intend on giving a dog 30 digs a season thats for 14 dogs, thats them needing 420 seperate digs. some going that poeple can look after large amounts of dogs and do that well, but working dogs require work not company in a kennel. I have 3 working bitch,s and 1 6month

bitch, all in seperate kennels.

Good post,no point in having more dogs than you can provide work for.

i have 3 hounds,2 adult lurchers,2 lurcher pups at 7 weeks,and 3 working terriers.the lurchers and terriers are easy handled during exsercise.but the 3 hounds need to be kept on leads cause if they get on a sent i mighten see them for a hour or two.

Ok so would it be fair to say that you only kennel two terriers together?? I thought that if you put three together you are asking for trouble?? I only ask as I have two Patterdales and they are in the same kennel. They have their tear ups as the bitch is a demon..... So would putting another dog in cause the trouble that I'd anticipate??
