First of all not all redbones are open or balw mouthed i have a full blood redbone and she does not make a peep until she is looking at the pig so you would just have to work with your dog but understand they love to hunt mine stays in a kennel she got out once and a guy fifteen miles a way called me and said i have your dog when i picked her up he said he herd her in the creek barking(baying) a pig after he shot the pig she just stood there and waited for him and he called me she had only been out for two hours or so. But i can say she is on of my best dogs
