My buddy is raising the pups.  They are about 8 months old.  3 of the 6 are really on the gritter side. He is also starting a Cody II pup out of the pocahantos plott line for me as well.  she is wide open all the time and can really play some music.

I had seen the too gritter from lil hopper.   I was hoping his 5 acre pen and some really bad sows would knock it out of her.  But he saw the same, two more dogs and she will try to catch any hog. Stayed on the IR.  With every bad wreck, we kept thinking that would change her mind,  it never did.  

I think lil hopper has a ton drive and can move a jumped track pretty good, but I dont think she cold trailed well.  


I believe some dogs learn if they keep there mouth shut they can sneak up on game quicker.  I have seen it were coon dogs go to catching game on the ground.  Also more and more of the competition dogs are getting quieter and quieter even though the rules state they must open.  "Strike my dog, tree my dog" in the same breath.
