working border collie bitch

bluemerle colliexsaluki

and a salukix pup

 

Bring on next season

[Hywel 53]

i have 3 bull crosses here at the moment, but sometimes that is'nt enough and the chances of having the same 3 by the end of next season are very slim.....

 

 

Do you keep dogs and bitches for your type of work Lucky, or do you favour one type?

we have four but two are getting on now

 

1,deer hound/greyhound(aged 9)

 

1,lakeland patterdale Russel (aged 14 our baby we had to bottle feed him many years ago)

 

1,pure lakeland,(aged nearly 2)

 

and our new pup

 

lakeland/wire terrier/Russel (15 weeks)

 

our older ones are passed working really but love getting out to run and try to catch rabbits.

deerhound is very spritely though still.

 

once the older to pass away i think we are just keeping the two from then on.

iv got 2,one colliex and a cocker but id have more if i had time,hopefully cocker pups aswell if she takes but id have 100s if i had time and space

[bird 9,926]

I think 2 is more than enough, how many REALLY can work more than one dog PROPERLY. . A good dog should handle 2-3 nights lamping, maybe a couple days ferreting+mouching. OK dogs get hurt, but a 2nd dog would cover that easy , till the other dog is fit.? Look at all the shit you have to get up, the feckin food bill for what,????? After all they are working dog's 1st, pet's 2nd. Ive had lurchers 25years, and i would rather keep 2, that work properly and do what there were bred for, than keep 3 etc..... and never see a feckin rabbit. [food for thought]

Only need 3 dogs, two running dogs, always need two incase one is injured or resting up. And 1 terrier for bushing.

I have 5 though, two of them are retired, and have earned their places on the settee

nice one the only reason for keeping a lot of dogs alb

Now then Jack mate, You cant really say how manys to many as one persons circumstances will be different from anothers. It really comes down to how much work you can get for the dogs.

 

I have two terriers and the one lurcher as you know getting a bull cross in couple of weeks so will have four by the end of the month. Would problys like more but restricted with space. Wouldnt mind a spaniel aswell for a bit of beating.
