Ive been doing this barking and no barking thing for 20 years. I have even done it with Parker before. The key is find the traits that you value the most in a dog. If they carry some bad attributes (in your mind) with them....see what you can live with. Some people will sacrifice nose for being quiet. Some people will sacrifice grit for speed. The key is breed or find what is working for you in your area. My hunting Partners have hunted Open mouthed plot dogs since the mid 80's. They have consistently caught more or as many hogs as anyone I know. Their dogs aren't for everyone. They have fun, hunt hard, and catch a ton of hogs. My cousin lives in South Florida. His dogs are quiet, rough, and short range. They each wouldn't trade for the others best dog; but both catch a bunch of hogs. Im not sure who I heard this from but I saw this one time:
Breeding dogs aint like mixing paint. You can't just take black and white and make gray. If you could take nose and bottom, and breed to silent and grit. It would be that easy.
