I only have one right now, but have had 23 at one time. The youngest was 9 moths old and was running pretty good. I've had both male and femal that were really good. Our female pups always seemed to start earlier, though. Don't get more than you can hunt. We started running into that problem. I didn't feel that they were being ran as often as they should to keep them at their best. the good point for us was that both my husband and I would run them. Helps if you have a partner so to speak.

I have 3 now just got a new one yippee. The females aren't as hardheaded.
I plan on having 4, 2 males and 2 females. But that won't be until a few years after i get my new one running.

depends on the dogs, I have hunted and killed all the rabbits you would want w/ 4 dogs - but these were some very good dogs
I run 6 to 12 at a time, the thing about it is if you have some so so dogs in the pack they can learn from the others if you run only 2 or 3 dogs that arent that good then the bad ones will hurt the good ones in a small pack
you can run 6 excellent dogs w/ 3 or 4 so so dogs and they will all look like the best in the world when they run
