I personally dont want a dog that opens up while working on a track. But once the dog has seen the hog or the hog has seen the dog, the dog can sing whatever song he wants to sing. At that point the jig is up already so it dont really matter how mouthy the dog is

From my experience down hear nowadays if a hog hears a dog cry, wine, chop, he's gone running if u have dogs with a ton of bottom and a bunch of big places to run them then chase them as far as u please but it just don't work for us. I've owned a few opened dogs and maybe they just wernt as good as others or maybe it just don't work for us I love the sound but just not when I'm hog doggin

Well I'll just post under neath my handsome hubby...  We have a bmc that bawls. I love it. We have some younger dogs that it helps out plus we can tell what's goin on by the sound of his bark: if hes running, stopped, etc... Almost like you can see the hunt w out seeing it! I love to hear and watch them work! x2 on seeing the hunt play out...most my dogs were semi open and a few open...I did not care for the open trailing dogs when working a track...but the ones I liked best were those that opened 2 or 3 times when a hot track was struck and then shut up...this pulled the pack together and the next time you heard them they were bayed or caught hog...but sometimes the hog was jumped and some dogs were singing on the red hot track...and that was ok with me... the dogs I have now run silent and I really miss those semi open dogs... |

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
A hunting dog is born not made...

Yes Brad. The dog I am talking about is the mother to your pup. She is a Cajun x Heat/Orville Roberts bred plott. Sounds like your pup has a lot of the same traits as her mom.

Just my opinion but an open dog just gives a hog a little head start. Will both types catch hogs? absolutely !

When the hog breaks, do y'all really think it matters if a dog is open or silent? With dogs burning it's a$$ up?

No if the dog is fast enough to catch it and shut it down .. If the dog is slow yes . My OP

If he's open and finds a lot of hogs I'll buy him.

If he's running it defenetly don't matter but if ur down wind of him and he's eating r sleeping r whatever and he has no idea ur there and all of a sudden he heard chop chop chop I can bet if he's from around here he's pumping up them nikes and runnin but I can agree with others to if the dogs workin the track faster then the hog is runnin then he'll shut em down all in all what ever works for your style of hunting is all u need and if it ain't broke don't fix it
