My hunting buddy has a half plott/half pit that is doing alright so far. He goes out with the other dogs and hunts but i have yet to see him start a hog. My buddy said he started one about a month ago but i wasnt with him. He's a good help dog right now with good gritt in em, but we will see after deer season if he gets any better or stays a help dog....
I have 2 friends that kept littermate males that were 1/2 plott and 1/2 pitbull. Both were brindle and one was a complete cull. He didn't hunt and did't catch. The other pup looked like a good looking hound but a little more solid built. He was a great hog dog. He was the lead strike dog and he could stop a hog. This friend caught quite a few hogs until this dog got killed when he was a little over 2 yrs old.
