Most of the guys on here havent hunted long enough to see a good hog dog.Let alone a good open dog,and a good silent dog.They hear all the big names that post on here alot run down open dogs.Well if ole HollywoodHoghunters says its so it must be so.They can spot a open dog right off the bat,thats one fault some green rookie hunter cant miss.Bam,he dont like that open dog.
I argue about how good a silent dog is to all the hound guys.So dont think that I am for one or the other.I just cant stand someone that throws out blanket statements about either.Both dogs can catch critters.Dont close your mind to either one.Matt, I have seen some real good open dogs.The men that owned them would have considered them culls,had they been very quiet.
