If at the end of the night that tight mouthed dog has more points on the card it might be time to take a look at whats on your lead.

Yea what he said, if i wanted to listen to a bunch of running i'd get me some beagles or fox dogs. I always figured thats why they called them tree dogs it aint about the track its about the TREE and from what ive seen most silent dogs are deadly accurate. JMO and dont even own one but sure wouldnt mind it.

I have a 2 yr oid english male that does both. He will flat out smoke a hot track and let the world know about it then let out one locate and come treed. The next drop or so he'll just just fall tree with 2-3 long bawls [which I love because most of the time it'll take the wind out of peoples sails] And you can put money down he'll have the meat each time. It's when he's runnig a track opening 10-12 times then come treed that you gotta watch.

Yeah that's the mentality and reason why many lines in all breeds are tree happy slick treeing idiots and why so many people are breeding back to seman from dogs that have been long dead..... Dogs that actually had a nose and knew how to use it to run a track and tree with accuracy.

You can keep the hot nosed tree happy idiots that seem to be so prevelant in most lines today. I think many people refer to them as comp dogs LOL.

They can't tree it if they can't track it.
