Future Hog Dogger

[Boondock Saints Kennels]

HI, fellow Dogmen.
I am just getting ready to start breeding hunting dogs.I have been breeding game bred Pitbulls for 30 years now, I plan on getting a couple Deerhound or Staghound gyps, to breed to my Cottingham males.
I am thinking silent Plotts, or BMC's,for strike dogs I will be hunting mostly Coyotes, but will also hunt hogs too. Any imput would be greatly appreceated.

What are these silent plott breeds that your are talking about? I'm not trying to be a smarty. I really have been looking at plotts and really like them but thought that a silent plott was just something that happens sometimes. Is there a certain line of plott that are silent?

I can't say a lot on the plotts, I have only hunted behind one and he is a cross and a jam up strike dog.  I love bmc's, and cannot think of a better all around dog than a yella one.  But, I also see desireable traits present in a lot of other breeds of dogs.  I really want to try a staghound in the future.  I guess, the bottom line is, there are too many conditions to say one will be better than the other.  Terrain, pressure, range, and a lot of other variables to consider, but I cast my vote for ybm.
