Your perfect bay

there you go, thanks Tony. now that im sat up in the house for a while ill proceed with my thought process. The reason i thought about this is that i had a conversation with H.Wilson on saturday (we had dogs bayed in a hard to reach spot and were waiting for a boat ride) and i told him that people have asked me before if my dogs (2 particular ones) get bored with a hog and lose interest because their bark slows drastictly once a hog settles in. Hunter told me his do the same thing at times and we both being guys who know our dogs had come to the same conclusion.

One boy who didnt like they way my Ratty dog holds a bay has dogs who bay at probably 40-60 barks a minute. i dont know much about his so i wont adress those dogs or that style but what i know is my gyps will talk at them a bit while moving, talk at them alot while settling and then hush to a bark every 5 seconds or even slower once settled. In the case of a limit testing long term bay they dang near settle down and read him a bed time story. its fine by me as long as i can hear where to walk to. they both bay pretty loose and relaxed, definetly wouldnt be winning no contests for intensity. they both pay attention not just to the hog but to stuff around them. alot of my other dogs, ive seen get hammered up against a log or tree or run into another dog while baying a hog, these two pay as much attention to the dogs around them and look for me as they do looking at the hog. ive honest to god seen the younger one have a boar try her and she jumped a blown down oak run down the log and sneak up to his back side again.

i could go on but now yall knowwhat im after, no right or wrongs, just whats your style? what makes your heart skip a beat?
