The pigs don't hear the silent dogs coming. Silent dogs don't have to be real fast. Open dogs do. IMO

Because hogs don't climb trees.
Nothing wrong with a cur dog who opens a bit, but if your having better luck with hounds and open hound crosses, then maybe you haven't seen any real good cur dogs.
Not that hounds and their crosses aren't talented, but uf the curs were really top notch, then you wouldn't need to add hound (in most instances)

The reason I believe I have better luck hounds and hound cur crosses is pigs are few and far between and a cold nose dog seems to work better here not saying their is not curs with really cold noses just saying the ones I have seen would not work a track that the hounds I have could

You don't have to add no hound to them top notch Cur dogs cuz they've already got a splash or two in em from way back  |

Yes sir, we are in agreement, you said exactly what I was saying. I don't mean mean it rudely, I mean it sincerely. Because hogs don't climb trees. yeah, way way way back...because the old dogmen learned from their mistakes and moved onto just make better curs.

The hog doesn't know the dog is after him till the dog runs up to him open or not just like deer they don't run from the noise of dogs till the dogs chase them ,
They hear dogs in the woods hunting diffent stuff an barking at diffrent stuff they Anit gotta run till they know the dog is on them ,
Do all the rabbits run when they hear my hound open up nope , but turn a rabbit dog loose when he gets after them they gonna run
Same with hogs
All it is is personal preference
The only thing you have to Watch with open dogs is turning catch dog to a bay that breaks the the bulldog will follow the hound , my solution is make sure the bay is good an settled befor sending CD

With these running hounds you have to put a little cur in them just so you can keep up with them!

I really like to hear the bawl and the race as long as they move the track with speed I don't like them to just bawl and move the track slow

I'm a Cur dog man myself but most of mine will open some here or there. I'm playing with a Cur dog that half running hound now cuz I wanna see what it's about.
It's not finding the hogs that's the problem, it's baying them. Open dogs will just naturally push hogs further but if they've got the bottom it shouldn't much matter either way.

i like silent dogs its just about all i ever hunted with and wont own one long if its gonna say anything on track. but i do enjoy leaving mine at home and going tag along with some hound hunters every now and then but i dont want any. either way here they are usually going to run a good ways whether they are barking every step or quiet as a mouse people catch hogs with both probably more with silent dogs lol its just what kind of dog you want to feed.
