Do y'all find it calls the other dogs who could have their own thing goin on ? Could you not be elementing the oppertunity for a split bay because an open dog is pulling others off ?


No these are real independent almost to a fault. I had bad trouble with my last set of black dogs the first 10 bays I sent them to they made maybe 3 because they would start and take their own track on the way. Sometimes ours want to run more than bay. I have two gyps that bayed a wad the other day. Some shoats left the group of 15 and cayenne went with them while the other gyp stayed bayed on the wad. Same story last summer bayed two barrs with about 6 dogs, all related, 5 left with the smaller Barr and the black gyp stayed bayed on the other barr. Lots of times I've been stuck standing there pissed looking at 10 hogs in front of me, when about 15 seconds before there 5 dogs there but they all left when a 60# shoats breaks out. It's not a bad thing because it usually leads to catching a lot more hogs but it can sure be frustrating at times.
