Re: How many do you have?

Had 54 at one time, I have 6 grown, 3 pups 5mt old, an 3 beagles. Dad has 6 grown, an 3 beagles.

Re: How many do you have?

Down to 23, the least I've had at one time in quite a while. Have had between 40 and 50 at many times. Like to run 15 to 18 at a time and have 3 older brood gyps and 2 older male dogs that I am raising pups from. No summer time pups though, won't breed anything until the end of summer.

Re: How many do you have?

Feeding 30 right now. 3- stud dogs, 13 brood females, 5 running dogs 1yr, 4 started pups 7 months, and 5 pups 3 months. 20 coyotes and several fox. Big feed bill, but this is the sport I enjoy, breeding, raising, training, running my hounds, and hearing a lot of good pups run and talking to all the hunters that use my facility. Thankful to be living my dream and occasionally getting a good one.

Re: How many do you have?

I have 10 and 6 pups. I thought I had a bad feed bill until I seen you guys post.Makes me feel a little better.lol

Re: How many do you have?

You guys that are feeding 30 dogs, how much feed do you go through?

Re: How many do you have?

I'm feeding 23 and feed 2 bags every 3 days, buy a pallet of 21 every month and it pretty well makes it for the month.

Re: How many do you have?

I'm feeding 30 head with a few bred about 3 1/2 sacks a week.but I've heard of people having 100 head or more.good hunting n God bless

Re: How many do you have?

I'm guessing I use about 3 sacks a week.....I get 4 pallets at a time and use as needed.

Re: How many do you have?

Re: How many do you have?

I have 32 walkers and I hadn't bought a sack of feed in 3 years. Mine eat chickens. Thank the Lord for my chicken house. That s the only reason I like chicken houses.

Re: How many do you have?

Well guys, I got fifteen head of hounds. Now it looks like i will have three more added to my pack. Well I guess this is why we love this sport. Always trying too get the best hounds that money can buy.
