I don't beleave she will most cur dogs are silent....It might effect some but I don't think it will hurt.. Sometimes a dog that barks on track is good for pups when they bark they keep the pups hooked to the race where a silent dog will loose a pup!

I have seen dogs that started opening on track when hunted with open dogs. Some do not. If I were worried about them opening on track I wouldnt hunt them with open dogs.

I've always wondered the same thing but just the opposite. if you ran a hound pup with a bunch of curs would he be silent? lol  |

I just hunted with a guy last night that had one hound and 4 young cur dogs he ran together... loudest group of completely open dogs I've heard in a long time.... I definitely think an open dog can rub off on young dogs...

I've seen a lot of older, silent dogs run open behind open dogs.  |

It depends on the strain. Some strain of curs will go both ways. Some in the litter some will open and some will be silent. IF you have a strain that has both, I would really worry if I didn't want opening dogs.

I agree with you, keeps young dogs on their toes and gets them going with them more and going to a bay,lets them no something interesting is going on and keeps it interesting for the pups and holds their attention better. Most curs are silent, but if a open mouth hound gets them started barking on track then they probably would have anyway sooner or later...all mine are silent but I have started lots of puppies with open mouthed dogs and they never became open... As for running a hound with a cur to try and keep them silent, i tried it many times, had a few plots that turned out silent and hunted like curs, but I think that was just luck, them hounds have a mind of their own, if they want to bark they are going to...if it were me id run them with the hound...mayb not every time...but sometimes, it will speed their progress in my opinion. |
