My problem with that is that every dog a hunter owns should independent enough to seek, run, and catch its own game with no help needed. Thats all.
Pups too?
This thread is really about preference..not IF this will work, or IF that will work. Can someone catch hogs with hounds? Sure they can...some like them, some hate them but no one's going to change anybodys opinion. I personally see no BENEFIT to using them.
I personally have no use for an open mouthed dog. Why? Because I have a line of kennels containing dogs that each are proficient at producing hogs and doing so in a manner that I like. If I was desperate for a lead dog, then I might be a little more willing to overlook attributes of a dog that I didn't necessarily like and the "as long as it produces" method of owning dogs might come into play.
Bryant,
Thanks for the response. I do feel that a pup has to have time to learn but there comes a point hat is the pup must become a dog that can do it alone. I am also glad that you boil it down to preference instead of one is better than the other as many do.
Thanks,
Buck
