Why do people care if a dog runs open AFTER a hog breaks?
I see all the time where people are selling dogs because they bark or yip at a hog after it breaks.
My opinion... who cares.
They race is on and the hog knows the dogs are on it's a$$. I don't care if they're silent, wide open or singing it a tune... what are yall's thoughts?
I agree with someone above who mentioned most of the time it's probably just an excuse to move a dog thats not making the grade. Kind of the same way I feel when people sometimes post dogs for sale because they're going to all males or females...or going to "start running" Catahoulas, etc. Some might disagree, or even get their feelings hurt, but superstar dogs just don't sell for reasons like that.
As far as one that opens up behind a broken bay...doesn't bother me. I'm pretty sure by that point a hog knows he's in trouble. I don't think hogs run blindly. They have a targeted destination..sometimes near, sometimes far. Where the dog bays, is where the hog decides to stop. Jump a hog inside a high fence and have someone waiting by that hole you know they come in and out of and see where that hog goes.
