Just wandering what yalls take is on which you like an open dog or silent dog..I've hunted throughout the years with both...I've caught hogs with both..I've got a 1/2 running walker and 1/2 cat that's open and hes put a bunch of hogs in the bag...i guess its just what each wants to hunt with..

I was under the impression that the goal is for every dog to be silent on track.....

cold nosed and open I don't care for...
medium nosed and too open I don't care for...
fast tracking dog that opens once the track heats up is ok with me...

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... A hunting dog is born not made...

I got a couple silent curs and I have a cold nose open plot she can flat move a track and get bayed quick and will Tear the mutts out of one when he turns to run. You ask open or silent I like the ones that CATCH HOGS and that is all that matters to me

I prefer a silent dog.but some of the best dogs ive ever seen or wide open. now the way hogs run open or silent doesnt really matter. after they run half a mile all of them know whats up. i kind of like hearing a open dog a hound

Makes no difference to me. If the dog wants to sing the pig a song so be it. I just want it to put teeth on it when the pig gets close to the mic.

My redtick opens on fresh signs and hot tracks. If you hear him there is hogs in the immediate area. I've caught more hogs with him then any silent dog I got. He acts likes slow hound but I ha e had him catch in a pasture before which he ran a 80# sow out of the woods, so he must have some speed:) answer should always be, what catches you hogs!

I prefer silent but one that opens up on track doesn't really bother me.

It never really has bothered me. Iv had a good open strike dog and a good silent one. I have a young dog raised out of 2 dogs the dad was ailent and the momma was open. The pup is oprn sometimes and sometimes he isnt. Im actually thinking about gettin rid of him, not any faults to me while hunting. Just in alittle bit of a bind

the only ones I know that absolutely love and prefer folks to have silent dogs are the ones in the canine tracking industry lol to me wide open is just as good as silent when running game .

Thats my feelings to halfbreed... it's different strokes for different folks... I don't have to look at my garmen every 2-3 minutes.

I like a dog to be semi tight mouthed while trailing but once they've jumped I want them to open every time there foot hits the ground

I don't like ones that bark just to bark, but when my my redbone nips a bit she is running a hot track or right behind one. I don't mind that, they produce hogs
