Heck I'll run with your dogs and bark if it means going out for a cat hunt lol !! Been far too long since the last one.

a dog that dosnt yap till on tree isnt bad, it is some times really good. eseshally if its an older track, even say a 4 hour old track, that cat could be a ways away. alot of time that cat could put another 2-3 miles on trying to get away from that yappy dog. my buddy swares by quiet dogs. a quiet dog has no greater of a chance of getting killed by a cat then that really choppy dog.

I'm going to go with Hounddogger on this one. Put bells on them and anything within a 100 yards will be able to hear them coming. But will allow them to get within that jumping distance and really finish it off quick.

Nait,
You running airedales? How and when do they open up?

[Nait Hadya]

Spoke,

I used to run dales alongside a hound, just walkers now. Mostly they were silent as death on a track. I have one that would bay up a phesant really good though. A cat bailed from a tree and my big dale was 6' behind it and just roaring, cat found an immediate tree.
