Yard video's

    Just watched a yard video on YouTube.
    As it happened it was from Rod kershners yard in the USA.
    The video was from 1999 and I believe that he keeps mainly Mayfield stock.
    The thing that really struck me was the number of dogs that he kept.
    All in good, healthy condition by the way.
    I'm from the UK and don't regard myself as a dogman but I'm interested to know if any dogmen back in the 80s/90s in the UK were able to keep as many game dogs as this.
    He had to use a quad bike and trailer just to get round his yard,he must have had 50/60 dogs and he knew how everyone of them was bred.
    It must have been a full time job just to look after them all.
    It was more of a farm than a yard!
    Did anyone in the UK ever compare with this?

    My partner and I fed as many as 50 at times and usually over 25 consistently for almost 20 years. It was hard fucking work.
    WCC fed as many as 100 at times.
    The trick was you had to CONSTANTLY keep up. If you even got 1 day behind the yard would literally go to Shit!
    It takes incredible devotion and pride to care for that many animals, not many people have it in ‘em.
    It was great times until the FBI started flying over my house daily in a helicopter!
