How many using dogs are you feeding?

It’s sure not hard to get in a bad spot. I had a buddy that had 4 females of his family of dogs and in just about a month or two lost everyone of them to some sort of absolutely freak accidents. He pretty much had to start over. I don’t like to keep a ton of dogs and can’t afford a bunch if I take care of them the way I think they should be. For this reason I give my friends puppies and their friends if they are honorable dog people. Doing this allows me to watch the dogs in person and I have access to breed to them. These folks usually ask advice on who or what to breed to when it comes time or offer pups back if they have a litter. It didn’t work as well for me with my family of bulldogs. For my liking and expectations they were pretty dang nice. But most of them had long careers and people don’t usually keep as many catch dogs on hand so there were less outlets for puppies. Lots of people wanted them but I knew of too many dumb a$$ things they did with other bulldogs to give them one of mine. For these reasons I didn’t raise enough to continue on and have ran out. The right hunt can send you home with fewer dogs than you went to the woods with and it seems like those type of hunts come in spurts. We had about 4 or 5 in a row right before deer season. We lost one catch dog and saw some others (not mine) get a gut check because of the whoopin Mr. Hawg was dishing out. Lots of mending had to be done. So y’all are spot on about having too many one day and not enough the next.
