The best cold trailing dogs I’ve seen give less mouth when cold trailing and more mouth as the track gets better. I get concerned about dogs that use a lot of mouth when cold trailing. I guess because most of them were better at barking than at moving an old track. Not saying yours is this way, just saying what I’ve experienced.
That being said, I think some dogs that are exceptionally fast will tighten up on mouth when they get close and near enough to catch the coon.
I agree, like I was trying to say I've seen faster. I think she's an average track dog for speed at best at around 7 or 8 mph. Some nights you'd swear to god some of these dogs bark just to hear themselves do it. Mine doesn't bark very much at all normally. She might give a few barks when she picks it up. But she normally barks here then moves a good ways(200 yards or better) then barks again. And some nights she never barks on the ground much if at all. I've seen better all round dogs go. She's young, and got a later start than some, but she trees coons and not a bunch of blanks or dens.
