Plotts did indeed originate from different stock than the other American hounds. In theory, they don't have any English Foxhound in them, they trace straight back to German hunting hounds. That probably isn't true anymore, I'm sure people mixed in plenty of other hounds before the registries came along, but that is supposedly why they are a different sort of hound than Blueticks, Black and Tans, etc.

But I don't think an open mouthed dog has any better nose than a closed mouth dog. They just have an open mouth. It's a behavior, not a symptom.
