The statement that best describes how Hal and Charles differ from the dogs’ previous owner is:

**Hal and Charles are not nearly as experienced or hardworking.**

This statement reflects the idea presented in the excerpt that Hal and Charles lack the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively work with and care for the dogs, in contrast to the previous owner who presumably had more experience and practicality in managing the team.
