EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Tell me about your plott's and plott crosses

Best all around dogs for me. The right strains have grit, intelligence , speed and cold noses that rival any other breed of hunting dog

What he said^^^^^

plott/pit worked real well on findin a good pig anyday

  :)

IF YOU ARE STARTING OUT DO NOT GO WITH PLOTT.GO WITH CUR & CAT THEY HUNT WITH YOU.JUST WATCH WHERE YOU WALK. A PLOTT YOU HUNT WITH THEM.

Sounds like I need one or two...

don't agree with that hunt with em . my plott bitch would hunt with me but you had to catch the girl at the hog or you's gonna have to do it all over again . they can be healed in if you start at a young age with the woods training . gotta male comin on good he's a medium hunter like my curs. and i been mixin plott in my cats since 2003 and they all hunt like my curs . just takes work (http://i1234.photobucket.com/albums/ff413/halfbreed3/whitten-R1-054-25A.jpg)                          my ol plott bitch with one of her pups

who has some bawl mouth , cold nosed houndy looking plotts ? lol im thinking bout getting one to coon hunt with

 Heres mine, cur side was linebred and so was the plott I believe. He was a late bloomer, didnt turn on til about 18 months but is making a damn fine dog for me now. Good nose and bottom. A lil whiney behind a hog but is always the first on a hogs nuts when it breaks bay, and a smart gritty type of dog. Catches with the bulldog.

Ben,is that one that Barlow made when he was fooling with that idea??

I had a cat\plott cross that would find pigs but she would open up a little sometimes when they were on a hot track and would push the runners even farther would like to have one that is silent

Yes sir, Boarninja had a littermate sister he gave to a buddy of his that from what I hear is turning out to be a good dog also. I was gonna cull him but didnt have anything else to run with Bob and David, I still threaten the dog but each trip he earn his food  ;D

 Here is another, Lucy plott/cat but not sure. Mouthy, good nose, lots of bottom, just a good dog, I like her and she will sure enough find some pork

A friend that I hunt hogs and work cattle with has raised and used some cur/plott crosses that were really good dogs when used on hogs or on cattle. Several people have gotten pups and used them on hogs or on cattle and been very happy with them. The crosses were from curs and plotts that he used that suited him; I think that is part of the reason for the good results. Some of these dogs look like crosses but some look like curs ( the mother of the pups was a plott).

My cousin got a plott/cur gyp. She dang good dog after she gets the hearding cattle part over with that usually takes 15 minutes. She usually medium to long range. Will be nose to nose catches with catch dog. Stays with a runner and is dead silent on track. Good dog except the hearding cattle part

This is Zig on the left (BMC/Plott) and Soka on the right (UKC Plott). They are both tight mouthed, short to medium range hunters with excellent noses and bottom. If they strike a hog and it breaks they will stick with it until they find it or are about to fall out.  Zig is a very rough dog that will catch anything under 150 or so lbs and Soka is not unless there are other dogs caught then she will help a little. I haven't hunted behind a ton of real good dogs but the hound/cur crosses have worked for me and have been some of the best Ive hunted behind.

I have a plott mountain cur b#tch that I like very well. I bred her to a Parker cur & kept two pups which r starting to turn on pretty good. They would be along further if I had them in the woods more. That's kinda hard with my bum leg right now.

I have raised  a half plott half cur male dog since he was 3 months old.. He started slow in a pen,, bout 9mnths but when he did he was hog crazy ever since.. The plott nose is outstanding in my opinion and can find a hog and wind one from distances that a cur dog seems to have trouble.. The problem with mine is he has no patience and is way high strung.  he opens up behind a track if the hog gets out ahead of him in a thicket after he looses sight of him.. So when u got good there is also badd.

(http://i885.photobucket.com/albums/ac53/jaymesmom09/mypackofmutts001.jpg) this is my yr old plott x pit hell of a dog on hog very gritty

Our entire pack is half plott- half cur cross & all are silent. Bred my old male dan to female lady & turned out a good cross. Kept all 3 male pups from that litter, they are 2yrs old now. 1-otis is an awesome strike dog, tons of drive, no quit, great nose, will stop a runner, & be hanging off the nuts when u get there. 2-pete has found a few on his own, will get gritty w/ other dogs. 3-gus solid help dog, has found 1, bays hard. Plan on making this cross again in the future before my old male gets too old.
Will add picts later.
