real sorry to detract from someones post but just trying to get my head around a few things. so a stike dog is usually a trail barker that draws in your other dogs.
Then you got strike dogs that run open, means the bark whether the hog is moving or stoped, and you have silent dogs who only bark when they have the hogs in front of them. I like silent dogs espesilly if you have GPS because you get into alot of cold trailing with open dogs. means they smell a old hog trail and they start barking like crazy even tho there is no hog. then every bay dog you have is following the cold trailing idiot around If you don't have GPS a GOOD OPEN dog may be a good choice.
