Young dogs opening up

Sounds like you have a couple nice young prospects. Good problems! If you want them to be silent, the best thing to do is to split them up and run them with a single, silent finished dog. Run them like this until they start out striking the finished dog or split baying from them. After that, hunt them alone for a while if you can. They will become what they will be this way. After this, hunt them together and see what happens.

If they are racehorsing each other as young dogs, they may continue to compete with each other BUT they will do their best work this way. We all step up our game when we have worthy competition. They will either pack together and be awesome or they will split bay from each other. Not bad either way!

The little bit of Plott in them could cause them to bark on hot tracks and jumped hogs regardless of what you do. If the Cat blood is any kind of open, the chances of this increase. If they can move a track and stay hooked, who cares if they bark or not?

They should end up pretty tight mouthed being 7/8 cur. I say this with no exposure to these lines of dogs. Hope you find it helpful.
