Are his dogs registered? Anyone have his phone number?

Sizzling was originally a coon dog cat dog line produced the only plott world champion in the late 80's.

yes sir they are registered, i talk to him every week he is 83 years old. number 318 495 5328

 I dont have any now but ran a bunch of different lines out west on bear and cats. If I had to choose one line it would have to be a weems bred dog hands down.

I am running a Pocahontas Plott from Eugene Walker.   Big game bred with a lot of bottum but sometime open.   Hogs, cats, bear.  Seem to be pretty gritty.

 Who has the coldest nosed plotts with brains to match?

Me ;D

Plotts with cold brains ? You sure you wanna make that public knowledge ?

I believe his name was Kansas Sizzlin Heat if I remember correctly...

a friend of my hunted lots of plotts and he liked orval roberts plotts the best...

cold nosed dogs are the cream of the crop when it comes to noses, and the pups are smart, the kind of smart if you do not work them regularly they will be in trouble.
The dog was cannons kansas sizzling heat, cannon has the sizzlin line and heat was one of the top two dogs produced out of that kennel but they have produced a lot of great dogs but they have two really really well known dogs.... I think the other was sizzlin joe boy.

Line bred Crockett, Weems cross. They have worked the best for me. Good cold nose, fast on track. high drive and natural ability.
Bred my female today.

nice, sweetie got bred the other day, we should trade

if yall had to guess how cold of a track can a average plott smell, i know its kind of hard to give a definate answer but im fixen to be the owner of a plott and trying to get a little info on them, so any good plott stories or just any good information would be helpful

if you want dogs that can grub out old tracks look for cat dogs, the dogs that hunt cats hunt an animal that is smart and leaves significantly less scent. This was the hardest part for me was to find plotts out of dogs that were catching cats on a consistent basis. When I did you could see the difference in the dogs and I now train my dogs on cats first and teach them to learn how to pull the small scent particles out the ground and use thier noses better, than you can go to something stinkier like hog, bear or coon

You keep saying that. I guess I'll have to come camp with you for a year when Freyja gets old enough to start. Not enough land or cats here to train that way.

 Me too. See if this little dollins can keep up with them arrowbark dogs.

The gyp I just bought I'm trying to track down her papers. I know it'll be a longshot... I bought her from Clint Sorrel, from Athens, TX. Clint bougth her from A guy named Brad Splawn from Murchison, TX. I think maybe Brad got her from Orval Roberts.  I dont know Brad and dont know how to get in touch with him. Any suggestions?

How cold of nose for hogs??? I guess for super dry climates...I know of a few Kemmers that led some cat packs around. Mostly gold nugget bred though.
I am thinking for hogs a cold nosed dog that looks for a good track is about as cold as I would want. This type of dog natually wants a good track but if raised and hunted with a cat pack can probably run those tracks.JMO

Mines is sizzlin heat breed and he's a quick learner and won't quit a hog for nothin and he's only 6 months. Semi silent.

i have sizzlin heat bred dog also lots of bottom started trailing hogs the first time he got on them in the woods at 11 months old. lots of bottom. he  locates once or twice before he sees them. IF they break he opens a little bit more. mines not really a long range dog in my opinion either.
