Pigrig that is a pretty bold statement to say that open dogs are no good for hunting. Maybe not your choice, but a lot of people on here trying to gain knowledge of all styles and aspects. I never brag on my dogs but I've got a couple yappers that'll prove you wrong.
not saying that i havent seen trail barkers catch pigs .the terrain we hunt to say the least is verry tough most of the time with pigs that are well adverse to a dog up its ar... a dog that trail barks gives a pig an advantage it woud not other wise have .my challange is to improve the dogs i hunt with ,and i would still put myself out there by saying a well bred dog shoud not trail bark.
