I sold out in 2007...in 2009 9 I got back in and am just now liking the 7 I have...I leased a Plott gyp for a fair price but drove 40 hours total to pick her up and drop her back off...She is a good hog dog and she was out of the mans best dogs and the line out of some well know big game dogs...and I bred her to one of my males...and I like four pups that are 7 months yesterday...I believe in breeding my own because in my opinion I have a better chance getting what I want...
if you don't mind the wait get you an older gyp not needed or a female out of excellent stock that is not that good,buy her cheap and breed her to a good stud and you will have something to take to the woods in a year...
Reuben, what big game line was the gyp you used out of and who did you lease her from? Just curious and if its not public info you can send me a PM. And if its none of my business then I understand that too. I just like to keep up on plott bloodlines and how others view their strenghts and weaknesses.
My pups on the dams side go back to Eugene Walkers Pocahontas p lotts...I leased her from someone that will see this post and he can chime in if he likes...he actually loaned her to me but I chose to pay my way...I have high hopes for the pups...they are acting right...I would have replied sooner...still don't have computer internet access. ..
