Fri Nite Again !

my theory on the subject is just this , when these dogs came to be every body had their ol farm and ranch dogs running around protecting the livestock and there was no such thing as kennels or chained up dogs and when one got bred there was no absolute way of knowing from what lol some made great dogs and were taken care of and some didn't get fed . then one day somebody decided to start trying to breed or recreate those exceptional dogs of unknown ancestry and if they got lucky they figured out wich of their neighbors dog did the deed and took it from there and slapped a name on it . I would bet that the mnt.cur is a mixture of plot hound and the old farm shepards that were popular in the hills on the east coast along with several other just old mixed up dogs thrown in the mix really anything before the 1900 is all just hearsay and speculation even the plot hound wich we have the history on , I mean plot only got here with about three dogs he would have had to do some kind of fancy line breeding to keep them going .
