A small level 20 Divine Hunter of Erastil can have 4 full wolves as companions?

[Minigiant]

I just want to make sure I am not missing anything

A Divine Hunter has access to domains and therefore (and more importantly) Inquisitions

The Hunter class gives me 1 wolf as a companion

Because I am small and have the Chivalry Inquisition I can have a 2nd

By worshipping Erastil and by having the Diefic Obedience feat, I can while only temporarily get a 3rd wolf (By summoning an exact double of my 1st animal companion)

Then as an alternative capstone I can take Huntmaster, and get a 4th

At 20th level, the hunter learns to control all manner of beasts. The hunter gains a second animal companion. Her level is considered four lower for the purposes of her second animal companion.

The hunter can use her animal focus feature to grant each animal companion a different animal aspect.

Is there anything stopping this?

Checks out. Only for a round/level once per day for the 4th, and equipping and buffing all three permanent wolves sounds a pain, but you can have your own little wolf pack if you want.

don't animal companions just stack to determine the level and not give u multiple? same as familiars?

also your archetype even calls out what to do if you try to get a second animal companion,

"If the divine hunter selects the animal domain, she does not gain a second animal companion upon reaching an effective cleric level of 4th. When the divine hunter would gain that ability, her animal companion instead gains two ability score increases (gaining +1 to two different ability scores or +2 to one ability score)"

the intent is pretty clear even if you take an inquisition to get an animal companion the archetype writer clearly does not want it to do that.

There are different rules regarding mounts, that I don't clearly understand, that get around that rules.

It's important to get around rules, and not use the rules as a baseline for when people are looking for loopholes, no matter what the core book and common sense tells us.

Snide remark. Not contributing anything. Thanks for your time.

There are ways to get around the rules of stacking druid levels, especially with mounts: Animal companion levels do not stack, if an already chosen animal companion is not a valid option for the second source of animal companion levels.

Example, you're a druid and took a Dolphin as your animal companion. You multiclass and then took the "Fluffy Pets domain", which grants you an animal companion, but it has to be a 4-legged animal, then the 2 levels wouldn't stack; you choose a Cat then. Later, you get a second domain, the "Birdy domain" and it grants an animal companion, but it has to have a natural fly speed; that doesn't stack with either of the previous choices, so you get a third companion, a Falcon.

Lord Kailas wrote a guide about having multiple animal companions; I recommend it:
