Nimmer

plus
Amira

=
Gretchen


This cross has turned out some excellent dogs that have been able to handle just about whatever has been asked of them in a variety of terrain. There are quite a few from this litter that finished out on bear, hog and cats. Recently gretchen went into heat and we are line breeding nimmer back to his daughter to hopefully produce more Nimmers Grin with a hint of amira.

I have gone through almost every type of biggame hunting dog and these plotts have been the best for us. You cant go wrong with a plott.

yes sir,
I have been waiting for one of the females that finished out to go into heat. The other females that went into heat the owners had already lined up some breeding for them. Gretchen went into heat and I jumped on the chance.

I came across a pocohantas plott female that is 7 months old. She has lived in a kennel her whole life. Have you guys had this bloodline before? I think she was bred in Alabama.
thanx

Jassen,  Most of those pocohontas dogs are good dogs,  depending on exactly what shes out of.  7 months old is still young enough, that it shouldnt matter if she was kenneled or not,  I usually dont start mine til they are 9-10 months old and they do just fine. If she is priced right, it would defenitly be worth a shot.

kenneling doesn't matter its socializing the pup that does. Its the difference between and confident dog and super skiddish dog (doesn't mean all skiddish dogs were not handled right). There is enough diveristy amongst the pocahontas dogs that it really matters who they are out of but some good producers have been the cobras, mud dozers and gus for pocahontas males. Check the pup out play with it and if you two match up buy it if not pass.

I will also be breeding nimmer back to Amira and will reserve this cross for 3 pups (2 males and 1 female).  All of my litters with 70the exception of one had been at least 70% male.

thats the thing about plotts some call them plott dogs, some plott curs, some plott hounds because they have the nose and look of a hound but usually a better handle and the ones I have sent to hog hunters report they are silent and the lion and bear hunters report that they are open. They are blank slates that have the hunt and desire you just need to mold them the way you want

They are pure plotts. The plott is one of the coonhounds that have different origin blood. Meaning they are not of foxhound strain. People have called them different names for years and remember that it was until the 40s that plotts became eligible for registration. Before they picked up the registered name plott hound they were often called plott curs. When I said blank slates I mean that I have seen these dogs pick up the habits of the dogs that they were trained with.
With the evolution of GPS I have encouraged all my dogs to be silent on trail  (at least until they are in sight) as I do believe a silent dog will catch more game.
