Title: Re: HOW MANY??? Post by: KevinN on March 10, 2012, 02:34:02 pm Hard question to answer. If you got the space I'm not sure there is a correct answer. I myself live in a regular neighborhood and don't want to keep my dogs on a separate piece of property so I'm keepin it at 4 plus 1. In the summer I'll be moving to some land so I'm thinking one or two more maybe. I guess here's how I look at it - if you can't get all your dogs in the woods (pups included) on a regular rotation you might have to many. Hell, I don't know. I might keep one in my yard just because he's a character or holds some type of significance. I guess the answer to that question is up to the individual, lol.

Post by: charles on March 10, 2012, 02:52:30 pm the right amount of dogs, is the amount you are comfy with feeding, housing and hunting. if you hunt 3 bays and 1 catch. if it were me, i would keep 2x the usual dogs you hunt with, 6 bays and 2 catch, but again its what you are comfy with. it all boils down to you.

Most hound guys like to turn the box loose before or during a hunt. I know one guy that raised plotts that wouldnt leave any of his dogs on the box no matter how many he had. Soo are you turning hounds or curs loose?? |
