no sir i am talking about some of mine and others i have been around but thats not to say yours do not fit this catagory. i have seen some good dogs and the only kind of breeding they had was good breeding. mixing in quality's from every breed and making it into one solid dog. dont get me wrong i am not bashing on high quality papered bloodlines. seems to me every pure breed of hound has flaws in the breed, or low points we should say. were in another breed that same low point is there high point by mixing the two, or three or four breeds using only top notch of each breed whos to say after a few years what kind of dog will be the result. some of the best hounds i have seen were bred that exact way......

Promoting a breed or a strain by folks who dont hardly even know that breed or strain has been the downfall of many a good breed or strain. I couldnt agree with you more bad moon. Its mostly about the dollar bills. Most of the folks I know that were interested in catchin game were lookin for dogs that caught game not dogs that had a name.

I'd get myself a Pocahontas bred Plott. They've been time tested and proven!
Just my 2 cents worth.

Good Luck!

Ya know your right them Cobbrra i,ii,iii dogs out of Mr. Walkers stock of Plott Hound is boot leather and helld toughf and bred-on an up tuff ! But like was said elsewere an we all know they come great a line in every breed of hound on biggame dogs hunten. Openions may change but facts remain and Ed Bates sure said that and made it a mouthfull for any sober person too have too agree with.
