I've never seen a catch dog quit when a hog breaks. My experience is that they will follow a hog that breaks till they lose them or tire out. They're not chasing a hog because of a trail barking dog.
An open mouth dog is just as good as any if he's putting pork on the ground. If he's running hogs out of the area everytime he hunts, he's no good for you.
Mixing open/silent dogs will cause confusion - unless they are a pack. A pack meaning that the dogs know each other and their roles inside and out. Sometimes my hound will open up out of frustration if he can't figure out a track. The other dogs know the difference in a trail bark and a bay.
I know some people wonder why someone would mess with the mouth, but I love to see and hear a good dog work. You other hound guys understand what I mean.
