You said you had treated 700 dogs. Your second post corrected that to 350, which is half the first post.

So if you had checked your source (I will assume you were the source) you would have found you treated 350 dogs. If you checked your source again, you found you had treated 350 dogs.
Combining the double source check you would come up with 700 dogs.

See?

No, I don’t see.

I am the owner of a large number of hunting hounds.

I know how many I have averaged each year and how many years I have owned hounds.

I know how many puppies one must raise very year to keep that many broke hounds to hunt.

There is a fudge factor to cover hounds that die prematurely, are stolen, lost, hit by a car, shot by an idiot, etc., so I breed a few extra and give the surplus, if any, to friends who like them

So it becomes a rather cumbersome calculation even though it is simple arithmetic.

Somehow I doubled something at some point.... and so what does it matter?

The point is I have wormed a lot of hounds, hounds that I kept and lived with for years so I know their health history and their breeding history.

How large is your kennel?
