I use plotts because they have the nose to pound the dust around here. I have tried all kinds of dogs, hounds, terriers and curs and have had the absolute best luck hunting behind these plotts. They were and are the most consistent of any dog I have tried. I have had some great dogs in the other breeds but the plotts have been my best fit.
And when he says 'dust'......he means it. One of the driest places I've ever been.
