As long as they work for you and you like what they do then all is well but if I had a dog coming up that I didn't want to ever open his mouth till he was looking at a hog then I wouldn't run him with a hound. That being said I guess what I really meant to say is that I would not run a young dog with an older dog that had undesirable trait that you didn't want the pup to end up with.
I won't knock an open dog that get's it done Rowdy, they just won't work for me where I hunt not a good example I suppose
