I think being open helps the younger dogs. It definitely easier to get them started that way.. Almost all of the dogs we hunt are open, REAL open  but they're cur dogs not hounds and their speed make up for their mouths because we still catch hogs! I don't agree that it makes a puppy more silent or more open though, it's bred into them..because we still raise silent dogs that grow up hunting with these mouthy ass crows !
