how many dogs do u need/have the work for?

Good points made, i agree that a 2 year old dog is not going to be as good as that same dog in a couple years when they r 4 or 5 they have just been around the block an experinced more stuff while hunting, but by 2 i expect to be able to take them on their own an not have to worry if my dog can find an catch pigs. An i also agree that u cant have too manny good dogs cant ever say ive hear of anyone saying that they have that problem. It is hard not to get out of hand with dog numbers when u r looking to improve all the time. Its a good way to get numbers of dogs going if u swaped out halfway throw the day to new dogs but i like too see a hunting/working dog laying down an quite after work im a believer in a dog doing alot of miles an being tested, especially a young dog. Had on older man tell me the dogs u want r the ones that stand at the frount of the cage wagging their tail an wanting to go when they have had day after day of work or r hurting. Hairyholder i never hear of many people hunting that style of dogs when i was their, an i seen some pics of your plates they look good ,well made.
