Hello. I am interested in building a character with two animal companions and was wondering what will be the most viable way to approach the problem, since the pack lord seems quite weak. The game will start at level 1 and continue all the way to 15 with modest point buy (15 point). The options that I see are as follows:

Cavalier 4 (Gendarme)/Fighter (Dragoon) 11: The feats go mostly to being a supperior mounted combatant with horse and wolf (eldritch heritage: sylvan) companions. Horse Master and Boon Companion to keep the animals up to date.

Cavalier 4 (Huntmaster)/Druid 11: With riding dog and wolf companions, no mounted combat investment, but access to buff spells like animal growth and aspect of the wolf.

Having in mind that the Leadership feat and the Summoner class are off the table - is there better way to achive what I am aiming fore (2 animal companions that can hold their own).

Full Druid OR Cavalier Levels
Cha 13
Skill Focus (Knowledge Nature)
Eldritch Heritage (http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/ultimateMagic/ultimateMagicFeats.html#_eldritch-heritage) (Sylvan (http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/ultimateMagic/spellcastingClassOptions/sorcerer.html#_sylvan))
Boon Companion (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/boon-companion)

One normal druid companion, one at effective druid level 14. Both fully viable to be target for druid spells.

So far so good.
I'll just leave this here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=246868).
Also this FAQ link (http://paizo.com/paizo/faq/v5748nruor1fn#v5748eaic9qqn) (that says you CAN have multiple, so long as 1 is unique to one of the lists).

Basically do the Cavalier 4 thing, then if you _really_ want to get crazy, go non-deity Cleric and nab Scalykind and Animal domains.

Maybe go Summoner with the Broodmaster (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/summoner/archetypes/paizo---summoner-archetypes/broodmaster) archetype? Build your own companions.
