Bryant,
There might be some plott somewhere in there. Pretty sure he is just a brindle cur, but who knows for sure.
Noah,
To go along with what Mandi said about our reasons for starting over... We had a pack of dogs that was capable of finding, baying, and catching hogs. However, each dog had just enough issues that we were not always pleased with them. Barking on the chase, occasional trashing, etc. They got the job done, but it was not always pretty. There were properties that we really got good use out of our rough dogs, but having rough dogs also gives a certain urgency to get to the bay before they get torn up catching.
When we decided to start over, our intention was to get dogs that are either a clean slate, or ones that have been started and might catch a shoat or small hog, but will back up an bay any decent sized hog. Something that once bayed, you don't need to be in a hurry to get there. Basically we wanted to go with a little different style dog and maybe raise the bar a little on our expectations of our dogs.
Hoping that it works out for the best, it not, there are dogs sold every day of the week, and we will just buy some different ones and start over again.
