Wow. I must say I'm impressed at how well they listened.

 

[cmorgan.1505]

Wow....My one question though...why so many? Part of me wonders if they all get enough food.

 

[CMDRTED]

Wow!

Well, they have such a large number of dogs because they're Foxhounds. They're used to hunt (you guessed it) fox and hunt in very large packs alongside horse-mounted hunters.

Here's a link showing them in action...

I've read stories about fox hunts, but had no clue it was still pretty popular. Learn something new everyday!

Like one person said on Youtube........did the count the dogs before and after.

Not keen on the one for all system of feeding

I think I would stay back from the food too if someone was swinging a whip at me. But that is just me.

Well if any of you have 120 Newfs...please don't try this at home! LOL.

Pretty amazing. There are a few more vids of this pack on YouTube where they aren't quite as well behaved, but still not what you would expect!

Wow, amazing control. I was so afraid someone was going to fight or bite the one next to them. I watched it a few times and I didn't see any fighting...dogs and food just make me nervous.

I don't very often laugh till I cry, but this one did it for me! Did they count the dogs afterwards....... :LMAO:

I took wonder if they use the whip on the dogs .... to train them... but hubby pointed out just the sound of that whip snapping would be enough to get them to obey. Anyone know more about this?

I don't know about it with regards to enormous packs of Foxhounds, but that's the same principle with lunging horses that need more motivation to move forward...you don't touch them with a lunge whip, you just use it as an extension of your arm to direct them from behind. So maybe that is what's going on with these dogs... :shrug:
