How many of you run more than one breed and if so what breeds do you run? I am a plott man my self but my wife wanted some dogs of her own so I purchased her some blueticks it was that or a dang husky. So now we are in the process of using both breeds.

My husband and I both have blueticks and beagles. I've been attempting to get a good redbone for years, so several of those have come through our kennel over the years. I've also had 2 AKC show bred B&Ts, and they go to the woods fairly often with the real hunting dogs.

As far as hunting goes, I like my Walker dogs, but Craig likes ticked dogs, so we have one of each of those as well. But even he agrees that its about damn near impossibe to find anything better than a good Walker - or at least we haven't seen it yet. But they have their culls like the rest. I really don't prefer solid colored dogs and really dislike brindle (such a boring color, hated it in my other breeds) So Plotts, Redbones and B&T's are pretty much out of the question. I'd have a B&T over the other two. I like variety and flashy. So Walkers are pretty hard to beat there too. Nothin shine's like a clean Walker dogs coat To me I gotta like what I feed, and looks are just as big a factor as any.

I've also had just about any type of show dog you can think of and still co own quite a few. Show dogs just aren't my thing anymore. Campaigning dogs and being a Top Junior Handler for years takes it out of ya...

I run walkers and 1 Old Fashioned Black & Tan.

Most of the best hunters I know run a mixed bag of dogs. If the dogs work for them they stick around. It ususally takes more looking to find a dog that does what you want in a certain color.

I like the color that's on the best dog.

I am a Walker person myself... Nick prefers ticked up dogs but loves a good Walker also.. We are at 5 Walkers and 2 Blueticks.......

I like my black and tans, but the majority of my dogs are crosses. A little of this and a little of that til I see what I like, the black and tan color is just a bonus. Seem to be aquiring quite a few good red dogs. Also have a walker\blue cross. Basically if it hunts, it works for me.

I have had B&T, Redticks, Blue Ticks, Walkers, Cross breeds and Curs. If they hunt they have a home. John

I run whatever works. Right now am using two plott females one is crocket blood and not quite sure what bloodlines the other is, she is off of some dogs that a friend has had for a while, a plott/pitt male and got a pup that is 1/4 plott 1/4 english 1/4 airedale and not quite sure what the other 1/4 is. His mother was an oops but her father was either a mtn. curr or a mtn. curr/lepord which was off of the mtn. curr. LOL pup is fuzzy like an airedale but a bit off collored. LOL

I have always been partial to hound/curr and hound/bull and airedale mixes.

Is there another breed besides walker? lol

yeah they are working dogs.... plotts, blueticks, black and tans, english...jk
