some of us don't like chop on trail. if i had a hound do that, i'd sell him to someone that liked it. if he was good as your dog, the price would be high. but that bark comes from the gene pool - no changing that.
I really didn't know that the type if bark a dog had on track would make that much of a difference to someone. Iv owned bark bawl whine squeal and silent track dogs, all of them where good dogs.
ijust always thought folks like to hear them run - not silent and liked the "good" mouths.
After being away from huntin' 10 years, I see a couple new trends:
1. Extreme tree interest. My pup misses nothing above his head; looks trees over, watches birds, butterflies, airplanes! Never saw that before but have been told they're breeding them that way now.
2. And what's with all the interest in still mouth dogs? My whole life the emphasis has been on loud loose mouth on trail.
