A real good hound is hard to beat, open or silent, but he has to have it all with nose and track speed. They are out there.
BUT there is Cur dogs with noses as good as at hound and will flat out make a hound look silly on an old track making you wonder whats so special about your cold nosed hound dog.
Id sure like to see a cur dog like this ive never seen one.
Make it a point to search them dogs out and go hunt with em, you just gotta do alil looking and poking around and you'll find em.

I've seen some cold, COLD nosed red cur dogs that can do this. We have a little bit of everything, one dog is open while trailing, most give some to ALOT of mouth once the hog breaks and runs, & the rest are silent. Running open and silent together does not matter
