damn a lab and pitbull, lol thats actually funny. but on a serious note, catch man you need to take a breather, im a plott guy like you but honestly there are lots of bear dogs in other breeds, i know of an oustanding pack of walkers, and another outstanding mix bred pack which has collie in it, i run plotts because thats what i started with, thats what im having luck with and they work for me, but you cant say there is no such thing outside the plott breed, thats just like saying the world is still flat. your giving plott owners a bad rep from all your bad mouthing, maybe you should just worry about number 1 until you know what YOU have and then worry about what everybody else has, and instead of pissing them off help them out if they need it.

Well there you have it guys, Collie the next Big Game Dog!


Jake just a quick question. Now, if you know of these great bear dog packs that are not Plotts. Why are you running Plotts. I mean, we all are out there in search of the best, so have you just settled for second best?

I agree with Catch, why settle. Also have a little pride. I am a proud plott owner I know what works for me. They could have asked what the best brand of vehicle for hound hunting and you would be hearing the same different opinions. Everybody has a right to their own. Be proud of what you believe is right and do not back down and do not settle. If your not proud of what you have do something about because your not being fair to your self or your pack.

O.K. guys......I don't know why I try explaining this all the time, but I will anyhow! I feel sorry for folks that can't think outside the box I grew up hunting with a breed called Hienz 57 and crossbreed hounds. To this day it blows my mind how so many people are stuck on registered "breed" of dog!!!!!! If I had 2 litters of pups for sale, 1 is registered and the parents absolutely suck. and the other litter is out of mixed breed dogs, but the parents are absolutely game catchers, the registered litter will sell 10 times faster!!!!!! As a matter of fact, probably have hard time giving mixed pups away!!!! Why is that?????????????

I'll tell you what I think/know!!!!!!!! theres no "MONEY" in mixed pups/dogs!! Some say they won't throw good pups..... thats "BS"

The breed of dog means nothing.........the Breeder means everything!!!!!! You rob yourself of so much knowledge when your not openminded.......

All breeds are mixed up anyways......yes, all of them!!!!!!! Read the history of your favorite breed!!!!!!!!

Plotts dont have foxhound in them? Wonder what happened to all the old Sugarloaf July dogs then? I would love to find a good collie cross and use it on coyotes cause I seen some cur crosses on yotes that were a hell of alot better than any damn running hound I have ever seen.

well catch i dont own any of them because i dont see the point in driving 2 days to get good dogs when there are good dogs down the road, which just so happen to be plotts, they are working great for me so why would i stop a thing thats working? im a pretty proud plott guy but c'mon man they arent the only "REAL" bear dogs out there, i just seem to have good luck with them. but you know what if they bring pups up with them when they are hunting up here this fall, i wouldnt think twice about buying a pup off them, hell atleast i know they actually hunt and not bitch about everyone else on the internet instead of taking a deep look at themselves. you kind of remind me of them mouthy guys at parties, no matter how big and strong you are, youl always go home with a bloody nose because theres always tougher guys around.

No it isn't, but Catch has established himself as a plottman--no doubt about it! I have little doubt that he and his hounds are the real deal. However, I'll still say (and many agree) that bear hounds come in all colors and in all breeds, papered, crossbred and every other mix ever hunted so why don't we move on :?:
