Well I don't know who said that, but I would not agree.  Most of the bear hunters I know are up in the MI, WI, VA, and NC states.  They all use plotts and other gritty hounds.  Some bears need little pressure to tree and some need a lot (thus the need for a gritty dog); some bears will just stand and fight (bay).  Gritty pack of hounds will catch a bear like a hog and the hunter better be on top of the bay to kill the bear or he will end up with a caught bear and most likely some cut/killed dogs.  Bear hunters like gritty dogs and most of them have certain line bred dogs that get the job done without adding any bulldog.  Bear hunters also like open mouth dogs.
