Why do people care if a dog runs open AFTER a hog breaks? I see all the time where people are selling dogs because they bark or yip at a hog after it breaks. My opinion... who cares.  They race is on and the hog knows the dogs are on it's a$$. I don't care if they're silent, wide open or singing it a tune... what are yall's thoughts? |

I prefer my dogs to open once they have the game in thier sights, not just smelling them. Then I know its ON!

Only if a dog is fast would it be acceptable to me. No sense in barking if the dog is several hundred yards behind.

Well to answer your question Mike, 90% of them dogs are for sale because they are culls, and the open part is just a sales pitch to make the ad believable. Just what I think.
I like my dogs silent til bayed simply because when the bark I wanna know there bayed up or have the hog stopped. Now most dogs will eventually grow out of it with time, and my 18 month old cur does this crap, but I live with it since I like him.

Mike, for me its personal preference. When I hear a dog bark I want it face to face with the hog, not barking behind it..........I don't like an open dog, even though I have owned and hunted both hounds and open curs I just prefer a silent dog. When I hear a dog bark, I want to hear "I have him stopped, come get him"..... But again, its more of a personal thing. I have seen dogs open behind a hog that breaks and seen them stop the hog. Just not what I personally like.......but I am just old and grumpy and set in my ways..........LOL |

Personally I think they are selling the dog/dogs for other reasons besides opening after the hog breaks and they dont want to tell the truth of why they are really selling the dog. The #1 thing I have learned here is that good/Great dogs are not for sale, if they are for sale something is wrong with them. JMO

My opinion... who cares. They race is on and the hog knows the dogs are on it's a$$. I don't care if they're silent, wide open or singing it a tune... what are yall's thoughts? I have to agree with this a 100%. I also don't think many dogs with a good desire to catch game can hardly resist making some noise when a bayed hog breaks,just too much excitement to resist. |

If the dogs are fast it is ok with me... I do not like a cold nosed slow hound that barks on track for 4 hours before the track warms up. |

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...

I personally dont mind at all if they yip a little while chasing. With my mutts it only happens in high gear and it lets me know that a chase is on and hopefully a bay is next. I think it is determination. I call a open dog one that runs around barking while trailing or looking.

Im am with ETHhunters on this one. I recently posted a dog for sale that does this. He locates a track he has found. Once the race is on he will open a lil more regularly for a lil while. Giving mouth does not bother me.. The problem is that my BMC who will give some mouth also will be AT LEAST 75-100 yards ahead of my other dog. This does not mean the dog for sale is a bad dog, he is just not as fast as my other one. I want a dog that is gonna burn a hogs ass up whether its barking or not barking behind the hog....Also I am not selling the dog because he barks on track. I am selling him because of the lack of god given speed that he does not possess. FYI

Believe your asking for opinions? I look at it as a waste of effort. In a race to shut one down they need to use all the oxygen they can get to fuel their legs not their mouth. JMO

Believe your asking for opinions? Yep... just something to talk about. I've seen it mentioned so many times over the years, just curious as to what everyone thought about it. Most all of my dogs will be wide open if the hogs breaks and they're right on it... but, they'll shut up if it pulls ahead. |

Well the hypothosis is that the dogs are yippin and barking because they are excited and full of adrenaline. Well I catch myself running around yippin and barking on a saturday night when the old lady says she feeling frisky and I am tryin to bay her up......SO HOW CAN I BLAME THE DOG? I think my ole lady must have alot of russian in her cause she is bad about breakin on bays!!  |
