Hound question

[Evie91]

Just sat down with H&H and noticed pic of hounds. Four of the hounds are clipped together in pairs (metal loop joining both of their collars). Only noticed this on two couples, all the rest are singles! Could anyone please explain why they would be clipped together?

A young dog in training, who has probably shown some tenancy to get a little distracted and if they won't learn to stay with the pack they will not be able to stay with the hunt.

Thank you.

The clips are called "couples" by the way, for obvious reasons!
