tom i like those dogs!

i dont know where mine came from, i dont think he was even papered but he was more yellow then brindle but you could stand him next to a reg plott and they look the same but he was lighter

[tnhillbilly]

I used to get alot of yellow brindle out the old line of Crockett dogs I used to have

[halfbreed]

good lookin dog hillbilly i like the way the maltese dogs got more of the old cur type plot looks medium ears and stouter body frame

[tnhillbilly]

Thanks, thats the way I prefer them. An old dog man that got me started, Alan Ford "Ford's Frontier kennels" would cull them on the spot if their ears would touch at the end of  their noses.
   Alan Ford, used to hunt alot with Taylor Crockett. And got dogs straight of Taylor's yard.

i thought i read somewhere that the blues came from the cascade line and they had a colder nose, i may be wrong but it worth checkin into.

[tnhillbilly]

Aint no tellin, but from what I have seen, most of the blues came t on real tight breeding.

[arrowbar]

the ones I have seem were pretty heavy weems but Mr. Weems started to breed for an almost jet black dog and most of his later litters were near that jet black that he was looking for, Mr. Weems used to talk to me about getting some dogs that traced to back to Vons dogs. And Von bred a bunch of dogs and was regarded as the man to get plotts from so the cascade dogs may have come from von as well.

Are you gettin that blue dog that Scotty has. Heard him saying this past week during training season, that they were going to give it to you to see if it would make a hog dog. Doesn't look much like any of these dogs above. Smaller dog, not brindle, but colored more like a weimeriemer. Good lookin dog.

[tnhillbilly]

They come all sizes, I raised a pup out of the bottom dog, that was blue, she is real small but a real bear dog.

tom i asked my pop where my plott came from and he said a buckskin breeder back in the late 80's

tryin to get a name but hes 82 so he cant rem, but correct me if im alittle hazy but hes mentioned owen lines before

Kinda sounds familiar

[SCHitemHard]

bought his first 3 plotts from WV and hunted rabbits with them

ill bug him some more when i can, im sure if you get to come down to hunt you will meet him

[tnhillbilly]

That would be Mr. John Owens. One of the first to even register a plott.

[SCHitemHard]

idk bought them back in the 50s i believe

[tnhillbilly]

That would be about right, they started registering them in 1946

[SCHitemHard]

well i remember listenin to his old stories of his dogs running rabbits and deer. and he would go off bout times that they would catch a bear on the ground and actually have teeth on the bear, i should ask him more about it since its been years since ive heard stuff like that it just got me to thinkin bout what i rem about my grandparents dogs


sorry to jack the post there bopugh, got carried away

[tnhillbilly]
