    Out of interest, and excluding packs of foots etc. How many dogs do lads have?
    And how many is too many? It's very easy to get bogged down with too many...

    I'm the same, the work life balance has been good so I somehow ended up with 14 dogs 2yrs ago, springers, springerxbeagles & 2 foots. Nearly ended up taring my hair out. I may as well have been milking cows they took up so much time & in the end I just wasn't giving them an even amount of time and my conscious was getting to me.

    I've been dwindling down a dog at a time and I'm back to 7 now. I'm happy with that and I was just wondering how many dogs others feel they can cope with, taking into consideration exercise and all the rest.
