Just a question for you top notch, never stop, bear treeing mixed up pack of dogs owners. Why do 90% of you guys that run a mixed pack always have a Plott in the middle???

Plotts are the only dogs that make real bear dogs!


It's good to see that not everyone has stopped using drugs.

The reason most guys have A plott in the mix is if they had two they'd fight each other. But at least then they could get all cut up and have some cool scars to show they are real bear dogs.

From my experience, I've yet to be able to determine courage by colors.

I thought I had the wrong definition of courage so I looked it up.

Courage:
A willingness to face and deal with danger, trouble, or pain; feerlessness; bravery; valor, also see Plott Hound

THE TOP THREE REASONS MOST PEOPLE HAVE A PLOTT IN THE PACK

3. You can always blame that hard headed plott on the trash race that just happened
2. You appreciate the rest of your dogs so much more
1. when you load up and go hunting with one of your friends that runs all plotts you have

i have seen fighters in all breeds, not sure why everyone is pinning it on one breed or the other, maybe plotts fight harder then other breeds but i cant say they instigate more fights then a walker, black or blue dog,or english etc. i dont think its the dogs to blame its the handlers. JMO oh and PS. anyone who wants to put their dog in my box is more then welcome, if my dogs start a fight and hurt your dog, il pay you what i owe and you can shoot every one of my dogs that tore a strip off your dog. Between me and my hunting partners we have 19 dogs, we can mix dogs in the box and put in new dogs without a word, they are all plotts and gritty plotts at that, last august we had dogs of every shape size and colour in the boxes with our plotts without a fight or il gestures, so guys come on stop bullshiting yourselves and stop trying to pin all the problems in the hound hunting world on one breed, your only fooling yourself.

as long as they do the job i dont care what color they are. right now i have plotts walkers and a b&t redbone cross. have had good luck with blue and red dogs in the past. dont matter what they are as long as they do the job ill keep following them to the tree and every now and then kick their ass off a moose deer elk or whatever they trash on. and my plotts havent picked a fight with other dogs any more than any other dog ive had. in my opinion the owner has as much to do with that as anything else but ive been wrong before. and im sure as time goes on ill go from mostly plotts to whatever i find that does the job be it white blue red or b&t. happy hunting to yall no matter what ya run just keep em running and treeing and well see ya in the woods.

The right man can make the growliest dogs in the country into gentlemen if he chooses to. If a dog is a good one but is growly, we will take care of his problem and he will be a good one and a gentlemen at the same time. Some of the best dogs I have ever owned were born to be surly unruley bastards but with a little molding, everything works out pretty good for me. You just need to channel their energy in the right direction is all and if you aint man enough to do that, then you probably aint man enough to ever own a good one anyhow. With that being said, some of the better dogs I have ever owned never growled a day in their life. The good ones come in all different colors and some of them think they are tough and some dont and some of them know they are tough just not tougher than me.

Now John, there is no reason for you to bash the Plott guys. You and the rest of us all know you want to be a Plott guy!

I compare Plotts to a Stripper Club. All the Plott guys are inside enjoying the show, while the rest of you hounds guys stay in the parking lot making up reasons why you don't go in. You really, really want to join the party but pride gets in the way. In this world there are those that do it, and those that watch.
