I have hunted open, silent, and semi.  I think a hotter nosed dog that opens every now and then would definitely help your pups. I think that a dogs gonna do what hes gonna do. Had dogs that started out open, but learned to be silent. I also know that it would learn the pups to be more rangey, and possibly trail colder tracks.
    I have started dogs that wouldn't get out of sight, but after a few times of going to and trailing with those barking dogs, "that had the meat" start Rollin on out on their own.
   I have seen alot of young dogs that people thought were mouthing on track, but in fact were Babbling, cause they couldn't keep up with older dogs, and I think this causes alot of the open cur dogs. Being started too young. This is one reason I like to wait til mine are old enough or able to keep up.
I know several that run both together, and their curs are silent
