Ponder

I almost didnt want to tell this until somebody else did. I had 2 dogs that could open a chainlink latch and my buddy had their daddy and he could. I dont mean sometimes...I mean one gyp in particular could do it as fast as you could...wash out her pen, turn around to get a scoop of food, and you heard her hit the latch and u better be headed that way or she was gone. She was a very special plott dog and learned to go silent. When she was 10 months old you could put her on last nights track in the dirt road, and she would bark before she got out of the ditch. When she was 3 to 4 years old she went totally silent running shoats, but would bark on big hogs. By the time she was 5 or so she was silent until she jumped and then if the hog didnt stop, she would hush after about 20-30 minutes. I believe she had the ability to reason.
