Are you talking pups? I love keeping pups with each other, but only for a while. My suggestion is build 2 good dog houses, one in your 10x10 pen, and one a little ways away form there. Use a tie 25 foot tie out for the other. than rotate the dogs sometimes together sometimes in the pen and one on the tie out. unless you have ever been somewhere and seen some guy tie a dog up that ain't never been tied out you may not understand why this is my recommendation. But if you have with the dog fighting for all it's worth it doesn't look good. I've had a lot of people say I won't ever tie my dog out, but what happens if down the road you sell it to someone who does. If you tie them out some when they are little they break to it fast and easy. The next thing if you don't own a gramin buy one. than but those collars to use, why some people will have a gramin and turn their prize pup lose to play, with the collar sitting inside is beyond me. I have one and it cost a pretty penny so I use it. put the collar on before you let them out, you may let them out 100 times and never need it, but it only takes one time of that pup hitting some kind of track to be gone. I don't know about your petsafe but I still would turn them out without a collar. But than again if I bring an new dog to the house the first two or three days they wear a collar, (dig out or go over the pen) worry free. If your talking older hounds yes you can still keep them together, but watch them when feeding them and if a female comes in heat (not just in your yard but anywhere around) some dogs are fine others well... Good luck and I hope your hounds make you a lot of good times.
