i was wondering , my dogs are silent , so i was wondering how do your catch dogs act while the dogs are trailing ? i mean when they hear them strike do they get excited or do they know when they are baying an not trailing ?
i know mine when they hear a bark they are wanting to go that way

Depends on the cd really, Ive seen a few that knew the difference between trailing and bayed and they showed it too.

They will get wound up at first, but with experience and training most settle down, but they still know that when they bay dogs open, its game time. But never been a problem.

Mine know the difference. Definitely get excited at a bark, but know when they've bayed - mostly by watching me and my actions.
One major drawback is that if you get a busted bay before the CD gets there, they will keep following your strike dogs as long as they're barking. Got to be careful in the heat. Had a bay break last year and CD's stayed with them for 3/4 of a mile and caught. Thank goodness it was winter and not summer.
I always run Garmins on the bulldogs and make it priority #1 to grab them ASAP after a busted bay.

My four yr old catchdog definitely knows the difference. But for me it doesn't really matter, my open mouth hounds leave the county, they are not usually very close for my bulldog to hear them. They may open on trail a little bit when they are cold trailing, but not enough to get the CD excited. They typically open up a lot once the hog is jumped, and by that time, they are usually 400 yard or more away. Once they bay and drive up, my catchdog knows the deal. He doesnt get excited until I snap him on the lead rope and start walking in the woods.

Does your catchdog have hearing problems?? A HOUND barking 400 yards away and he cant hear them??  JUST KIDDING!! In alot of the bottoms we hunt, you can hear a dog with no problems at a mile off... I have one 1/2 plott that will chop on a hot track, and several of my buddies have a dog or two about the same... I would say every CD ive had will get excited when they hear a bark... Heck so do I, and I know its trail barking!!  Like Tom said, when they hear the bay dogs bark, they know its game time..  |

willbanks....BIG difference between a hound baying and cold trailing at 400 yards...do you hear me? When my dogs bay at 400 yards you can feel trees shake. My catchdog hears just fine. Maybe I've just caught so many, he knows the difference. A cold trail chop is nice to hear, but I dont get overly excited.

All depends on the Hound... Ive seen Hounds that would blow the leaves off the trees when they opened on a track... Maybe I've just caught so many, he knows the difference.
 Like i said, i was just joking.... |

Yeah I hate a busted bay i keep garmins on mine to but they caught a mile or further away and couldn't get there fast enough and got killed happened to one of mine 3 in a half years ago and my last one in january had em bayed about 30ft cut em loose the hog hit him head on threw him back and ran he took off after the pig with the other dogs ended up catching one by himself in some thick thick nasty briars and i tried and tried to get to him and he had ahold of one that weighed 280 by the nose and there was another pig hitting him in the flank when i got there the other pig ran off and we caught the one he had caught and he collapse soon as we pulled him off and it sucked did everything I could he was with us for 3 years and thats just whats going to happen every hunter says |
