plotts as bobcat dogs

[laneysplott]

Plott's are all I run on bobcat here in Maine. We run in very harsh conditions and the thickest woods in the country and the plotts do great, they seem to have a much better foot than walkers or blueticks for the snow and seem a bit tougher for me as I run everyday of the season guiding clients.

David, I trained Jet as a pup with Bob Purington, He was a starr mtn. plott, His sister Lucy was the mother to my Suzie dog who just passed and we killed 205 bobcats with. If I remember right Bob sold Jet to the guy in Mn. who has the bobcat pen, and I know he threw alot of pups. He was a small male who could drive a track hard at a young age but had trouble in the thick stuff when the cats circled tight which 90% of dogs in Maine do.

Laneysplott, good to meet you. I love this place. Where else am I going to meet Jet's trainer.

So here is my question for you. How often does a bobcat dog like Jet come along out of those Star Mt. dogs? On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being the best Star Mt. dog you have ever seen), how would you rate Jet for his age when you last saw him?

Did you get some good pups out of Suzie?

David, As you know good bobcat dogs are hard to come by, by good i mean dogs you can consitently go kill cats with. The dog I have are starr mtn . and pretty heavy on the weems side. Suzie was half star mtn. and I had one litter off pup's with her, She had 7 and all but one are great dogs, not all cat dogs, some are bear dogs. I have two males from her. One named Cash who is by far my best bear dog, he is just like his mother, He will not quit and is extreamly intelligent. As for Jet, when Bob sold him he was a real young dog, he was coming along nice but needed more work, sounds like he turned out great
