Hadnt had my coffee when i made that last post, (typo heavy)!
I have had 15 and 20 mile races in this hillcountry and it will flat wupp a dog ! Ive carried em out more than once because they cant hardly walk. These long runs were always with open dogs,but they were the only dogs that Ive hD that would stick for thAt long.Those races are no fun but I would do that if it produced hogs.My silent dogs will only stick with a race thAt long if their with another dog that will. So I am always thinking if it would be better to just run em like this with some good hounds or keep doin it with these silent no bottom dogs. I definitley get on more hogs with the colder nosed hounds because we dont have alot of tracks to run to begin with, but when I have run those type dogs I cant say Ive caught those hogs.Several times they did bay or catch it after miles and miles but when they did they were so far out I coulnt get there in time. They can only hold one for so long. Because of this I switched back to hotter nosed dogs, definitely less bottom and I still question that.Wish I could find a cold nosed silent dog that was straight catch !
