Don't really know if he will stay silent, but there's all ways someone who would buy him if he does. Dave

Not going to ask what line blue dog.But I will say there is one line that the males are tight while the females are not.Some start out opening and go silent and others start out silent and go to opening. Others are tight their whole life.
I had one that was dead silent.At 3 years old he became an absolutely first strike dog and wide open.Almost sold him cause I don't like silent dogs either.Never know. They are all different. He may start openin with a little more age.
And the line I am referring to TREES FIRST then learn to track.Just like yours

If he was mine, I would give him some time after reading your reply. I really didn't know, as I never seen a silent dog go to open trailing. I have one that's really tight, but he does open on tracks and he is very accurate. Dave

I have one that started out dead silent alone for months then I hunted her with a friend's dog an she was wide open. Took her again alone dead silent. This went back and forth awhile. Fast forward to today and she is about perfect amount of mouth now and she is 3 year old. Ya just never know.

I'm hunting a red male thats as close to dead silent alone as anything I've had. He will open with another dog but it seems like he's locked in stealth mode til somebody else ruins it lol. My buddy has two dogs one is tight the other one never shuts up. Doesn't matter which one I put mine with he's gonna open a couple barks after the other one does. Hot nosed and dead accurate I've seen him miss twice alone in over a hundred trees and if another dog gets slick he'll be two doors down under the coon. I hunt almost exclusively alone and he's one miserable bugger to hunt alone in thin coon. I keep hoping he's gonna start to open but I seriously doubt it's gonna happen.

My first B and T would only open once or twice and that meant he was about to tree. Very accurate dog, earned his Gr Nt Ch on accuracy, he was almost always 3rd or 4th strike, but he wouldn't leave a tree and he always had a coon, no off game, so he won on those points many times! I think one time he got 1st strike, but then he would be pretty silent til he treed, which was usually within 30-60 secs of striking. Nice chop on tree until you took him off the tree. Smart, easy to handle, great lapdog in the house when not hunting him, so he had many great features that the silent track didn't bother us much! A pup by Dark Hollow Victor, Lee Stocking.
