Thanks for your input. I might be able to run it with a old dog In the next couple of days I will know. Just waiting to see if This female dog is coming into heat or not before I will be able to run her. I have heard that most plotts will not open until they see the cat but I was just hoping that this was not going to be the case with this one. But here again we'll give it a shot and see what happens. Thanks again

I had a dog that ran lion and bobcats silent for the first few tracks . as he started getting it figured out and treeing a few he would open on track but only after he had trailed for 10 or 15 minutes. he did this on a few more tracks finally he would open start to finish.
