2-piper, I understand on the advantage of the sub-sonics when stalk hunting. The noise doesn't matter when hunting with a dog. The challenge for the hunters is to just spot the squirrel and then hit him well enough to get him out of the tree. Like most types of hunting with dogs, it's all about seeing the dogs work.

Gil, thanks for the compliment on Blake; he was a good dog and I had him until he was 13. He was completely deaf near the end, but he still treed squirrels right on through his last hunting season. There are a lot of folks around me who take squirrel hunting with dogs very seriously. They have competition hunts that will draw people from several states.
