MAYBE NEXT WE WILL GET TO SEE A PERFECT BAY T-bob
Haha I hope I dont sound like a weirdo, I may not know how to put my thoughts to words very well like Noah would if I could just esp him my thoughts.
I don't intend that I make any claim of actual perfection, just want to know what folks like their dogs to do while baying a hog.
Some people see a dog intensely focused eye to eye with a hog, bark per second, slobering madly and showing teeth as well as within a foot or so of the hog and with front shoulders bowed low. That's what they think of when they picture a bay.
I actually think the perfect bay would be 2 dogs alert and focused on the entirety of the situation, bringing a sounder to a "calm submissive state"
and then one dog driving one dog leading the sounder towards me. Also in my dream perfect bay I could catch out a hog while those two dogs settle the sounder again and again till the work is done, then they could be called off. That's what I want to see one day.
