The female on the left is Bluff Creek bred from Steve Herd in Protection, Ks, the female in the middle is off Jerry Gosnell's dogs in N. Carolina, and the male I'm holding is a coon bred hound out of GrNite dog in Oklahoma the goes back to Garrison Brindle Ranger and Buckeye Bud.

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog... A hunting dog is born not made...

Reuben, I don't think that you could go wrong with Mike Cauley's line of Plotts. I'm not saying every pup makes the grade,everybody has a cull sometimes,if they say every pup makes it they are lying to you. I ran hog bred Mt Curs for years, and caught a lot of hogs with them, but the real running hogs always seemed to get away. I'm not saying you will catch every runner every time, but with good bred Plotts, your odds of catching those runners will go up if they have been bred with what I call (bottom) the ability and drive to stick to a track untill you have run the air out of those sho nuff runners. Mike's Plotts are very gritty dogs, very seldom does he even use his catch dog. Just yesterday we caught a 250# Wooley Bugger with 4 Plotts. I know I sound like a salesman for Mike, but it is only because I am sold on them myself. And CSCOTT, good luck on finding that silent one, not that there aren't any out there, but they are few and far in between. I don't know of any man that has a line of them, but some breeders occasionaly have one. I really don't think it matters any way, whether a dog is open or not. It's just a mans personal preference. Personally I love to hear a good race. To me the only drawback to having Plotts is you can't turn out on 3 or 4 hundred acres, but with trying to catch these runners of today, they won't stay on it anyway. Good luck to everyone in our endeavors to catch hogs with what ever breed you choose. I just choose Plotts.

I think your right it doesn't matter if there open or not bc if the dog can ether get the job done or they can't. But the few times I hunted behind an open dog it seam to me we alway had long races them normal and that just have been me thinking it bc I like silent dog idk. I have a buddy that a silent gyp she was a great dog wish I had her

I have three of mikes dogs that I run with thom franklin blood and dogs I got from mr Roberts. Mike and thins dogs run to catch have the speed and grit to shut the runners down, mr Roberts dogs have super cold noses and bay loose. I have friends with good curs and Catahulas but they always csll me when they say they get out run or can't stop them. I like a gritty dog and mikes are a-1 in my book. Give him a call he is a great guy, I called and talked with him as he was getting out of the marsh yesterday lol.

This is a very nice 2 yr old female I have been hunting this winter. She has bayed tons of hogs, needs no help and one of the best and most honest rig dogs I have ever hunted.

I haven't had hand on too many hogs. Probably never payed much attention to this in the past but whats up with the tail on that hog? Looks like it came from a Labrador. Do many hogs have tails like this or is it just the picture? Thx
