A Good Plott Dog

every dog that someone says is bred to "run to catch" is just that. Most of us want to catch game and not just hear dogs running and barking. I know I do. I love plotts and when I was in michigan I had a bunch of run to catch plotts. Just like hogs if your hound bites a bear in back axle and gets him to turn he is "catching the game" at that point he better get back and bark or he will be dead. Its a simple fact that a bear is bigger and stronger than my dogs and if he trys to fight head to head he will be dead. I never had trouble culling those dogs as they do it all by them selfs. I want my cur dogs that I have now to do just what my hounds did on bear. Stop them from running. get them to turn and fight, and then get back and tell me where to get so I can do my part. A smart cur dog will apply just enough preasure to make a hog fight and then wait on the calvary. I know a lot of you run rough curs that catch hogs. you probably catch a lot to. however everyone hunts a little different even dogs of the same breed. Ive seen everything in plotts from a super gritty pit like dog to a stand 30 foot away and squal type and they were both registered plotts and both treed bears. I think some of you guys are getting your feelings hurt a little too much. We're all in this together boys. respect the other guys opinion and go on. Peta loves to see us argue cause it shows a lack of unity.
