I have a plott BMC cross thats a heck of a dog, have had a few hound cur crosses and the only problem i have seen is they are more likley to be open. but if that doesnt bother you they make some good dogs. what part of SC you from mud and blood?

i've been real lucky on the mouth deal. all my crosses have been tight mouthed . they will signal a strike then shut up till bayed . then if it's lucky enough to be able to break a bay they will sing it a song but no cold trail talking

Mud and Blood,
I have been running catahoulaXplott crosses since 1991. In my opinion they make the best hog dogs, also pretty fair bear dogs and I have also caught coons and lions and bobcats with them. Of course, you can't take just any old plott and breed it to any old catahoula and get good dogs, you still have to breed quality to quality. If your worried about open on track, breed to an old style plott, they are more likely to be semi-silent and their catahoula cross offspring have been 100 percent silent for me. I have also gotten some good dogs crossing catahoulas with B&ts, blueticks, and walkers, but on average I like the plottXcatahoula crosses the best.
Halfbreed,
What would it take to trade you out of one of those pups.
Bill

I am from Winnsboro S.C; which located right above Columbia. I have a good Plott male but I would like to take a little distance out of him (had some long nights with him). He is silent on track so hopefully when I breed him that will carry on.
