Dog quits bay

Maybe he wasn't baying when he was with other dogs like you think he was, he might've been striking the hogs and making the race but when it came time to bay he just wasn't into it as much as you thought he was, my reason for saying this is because a friend of mine had a pup about the same age as yours, he would roll out jump a hog and make the race with the best of him, several times when he was by himself he would just lose the hog, got to watching him on the garmin and he would be at every bay but would just be making loops around the entire bay, so we put him in a wooded baypen and he did the same thing, we was able to get up there and see what he was doing, we put him on deer after that, his problem was he didn't like to bay by himself, he would get in the action when the CD got there and had been cut a time or two but nothing to hinder him, but his entire life he had been started with other dogs, had been put in the woods pen with other dogs, always been dumped in a race already going and always been casted with other dogs, after that learning curve, we'll take each pup when they get to around 10-12 months and put them in a square baypen with a decent hog, and if they won't just sit down and bay right by themselves then they're no longer hog hunted. Not at all saying this is the case with your dog, just giving you an experience I've had a lot of dealings with and changed the way I see and do things with my dogs.
