Thanks Austesus. The little gyp doesn’t use teeth to bust bays. She actually gets a little intimidated by Sounders & mature boars that charge her. She will turn away from them and then close back in on a small hog. She gets run over by a big hog and squalls. After that they bust and she runs after them yippin every breath. I think she wants them to run so she can single out a shoat to catch. She also feels safer running behind them than she does facing them to bay. She’s been on at least 10 good solid 20 plus minute bays with my red dog. Only on mature solo hogs though. Shes bayed her own solo hogs a few times. I was close with the catch dog and got them caught. She’s busted every group she’s been on. I figure her only hope us to spend a lot of time around hogs and in the pen with them. Maybe she can relax and learn to bay. She has a good nose, good mouth, handles good, hunts well. The hard stuff comes easy to her and the easy part is hard for her. I’m gonna spay her and give her some bay pen/mock hunt time. If she learns to bay, I’ll feed her and hunt her. Probably wasting my time but I like her so I’m gonna do it. I dang sure can’t watch her bust anymore bays. My woods time is too valuable.

Just asking, but how is it that she's busting bays but not putting any teeth on them....
