It just depends in my opinion. Now a days you have people evolving these hounds like "cutter bay blue ticks" and several walker lines. Whatever your wanting from these hounds is where I would go. Just like cats vs curs, you have to find a line you like. However I specifically like plotts. All the plotts I've hunted behind had some of the most bottom and heart I've seen. Now crossing i have no clue? Cross the best to the best I would think
Right now I have a plottxpit cross that I really like. He's got a great nose but I only hunt him by himself because he catches every time. I plan on crossing him in about a year or two if he's still alive onto my BMC gyp.
