Looking at Plotts

reed · Post by **reed** » Mon Jun 16, 2008 7:21 pm

I would say that Gregs dogs are in that range for size. My female is a little bit smaller than that, she is a littermate to his Socki dog. All of Gregs dogs are easy handlers. They don't come out of the box until they are called. They come when called and he doesn't put up with any agresive dogs. He puts a lot of time into his dogs and they do extremely well. I don't know if you will be able to have any pups flown right now as the weather may be getting to hot. Like Larry said it is best to call him and see what he has ready to go or what he has coming up.

It's pretty ironic how Greg came about getting that Bill dog.

I had just been back to WI during their Bear training season that year.

I didn't have any room for a pup to come back with me, nor was I totally sure that I was going to get another pup at the time. Kinda like we all say to ourselves at times, "Do I really need another pup at this time"?
Not want, but need, because we always Want another one.

To get to my point, I called Greg on the road, as he was still a dog hauler at the time.
I told him what I had, and wanted to get a ride to CA, and once he heard the breeding of the pup;
(CH PR' Walkers Pocahontas Cody II X WCH NITECH GRCH Mississippi Mud Dozer)
He asked me very emphatically "Are there any more left?"

I told him that there was actually one left. Needless to say, he got it.

I ended up picking up my pup which ended up being known as FCH GRCH PR' Corbin's Rebel Pride Magnum at Gregs house when he was still in Colorado.
Once he moved to AZ I lost all of my contact information for him. I've since seen the post of Greg's # and I'll be getting ahold of him to talk about his littermate to mine.

I would love to see what his Bill pup turned out to look like. I'd also like to talk to the guy mentioned that now owns him. If someone could get me in touch with him, I'd appreciate it. You may PM his contact info to me.

It was really too bad for Matt Grambsch in WI who owned the Mud Dozer female, when one night while he was coonhunting.
Dozer and 2 of Matt's pups got hit and killed on the road.

As was I totally saddened when my Magnum dog was killed by a big Bear 2 seasons back.

To wrap it up Larry & all interested,
You CAN'T GO WRONG with a POCAHONTAS Bred Dog. These dogs have been TRIED and PROVEN for Many Years.

The same goes with dogs Raised by Greg I would have to say, as I've heard this may times from folks out this way (in some western states.)

Although he's not been into dogs as long as Mr. Gene Walker, he seems to be making quite a mark on the breed of what he trains. Whatever it may be at the time.

Good Luck in your quest for a DYNAMITE PLOTT!!
Take Care!

Irv, I will agree with you that Greg is not the only one that produces good dogs. By going to certain people you will be able to up your chances of getting good dogs. The best bet is to go and hunt with the guys dogs and see what he has for yourself. At the very minimum you should talk to him and see what he says his theories and goals are for his dogs.

After some mathmatics I believe for now I will look closer to home for a pup. Shipping a pup or two pups is costly. I will still contact Greg Anderson in the near future. I am sure there are some good dogs to be found around here within driving distance. If anyone has a good lead or tip on some good pups in the Eastern TN region please keep me in mind.
Thanks. Hunter.

You are in the area that Plotts originated. Gene White is in Knoxville, he has had dogs for over 40 years and has been a lot of places with them. I know that there are guys in NC, the birthplace of the plott, that also have some good ones. But also give Greg a call and talk to him.

I just got off the phone with Mr. White. He's an extremely nice fella. We have hunted many of the same areas locally and he knew exactly what I was looking for. How we have never met is beyond me. I have lived my entire life within 10 miles of the man. I plan on making a trip over to him place next week and taking a look at his stock. Thanks for the help that everyone has provided me.

There is also a feeler there in E.Tenn by the name of Gene White who has great dogs I have a few Poch bred dogs and half a kennel of white hollow dogs, and Plott Proud is right you can run what ever it is you want with those dogs. I do know that gene has a litter on the ground now out of the same cross that I have here, the pups I have are just under a year and run and tree hard I put them on a few bear so far this summer and a few hogs here at the house and there doin great. There half brothers to my old Dan dog, who was one of my best all around dogs I ever had his only down fall was he thought he was a bulldog on hogs and thats what got him killed.

I was on Plottdogs.com and saw in the classifieds where there is a fella from Bledsoe County TN that has some plott pups due. They are out of Cody II. His name was Sourwood. Would anyone know if that is the same Sourwood that is here? I cannot access that sight yet to find out. If it is does anyone have his phone #?

Sourwood = Jason Bickford at (423)881-3355. Type "Smithdeal Society" in your search engine then go there and you will get all the info. you need.

I would be careful snooping around for dogs on the Smithdeal Society. If it not about a certain Strain of Plotts you find yourself a outcast looking in from the outside. That site is for, lets say the more experienced Plott guys that have nothing to do but talk plotts.

Has anyone hunted with the Bloody Bill dog of Greg's? Just curious of what you thought. Maybe PM me with your opinion.

LOL

Wow that was quick!

Mr. Drumm, have I said anything that is not true? I'm giving Hunter a heads up on how thing works over there. Maybe things are different now I don't know and I don't care.

Take Care Andy

Hunter,
I dont want to step on anyones toes but you cant go wrong with gene white's dogs. I've ran alot of other lines of plotts and his seems to work out great for me and we hunt some of the roughest country a guy could hunt. For hogs and bear and if you can find a hog dog started it will make a bear dog, once again ,dont want to step on toes but it takes a tougher dog to catch hogs then it does bear. And all the dogs I have gotten from Gene have all made awesome hog dogs and they have all treed real hard too. But this is just one man talkin. Oh, but Gene has probly forgoten more about huntin hounds then most have ever learned.

kickemall · Post by **kickemall** » Thu Jun 19, 2008 2:08 am

I disagee with you that it takes a tougher dog to catch a hog than it does a bear or that a started hog dog will make a bear dog. Its been my experience, and at this point in my life that is quite a bit, thats it just the opposite. In fact, your the first person who hunts both that I've heard say that. I've seen and had a bunch of dogs that would flat get after a hog that wouldn't get within fifty foot of a bear on the ground. I've never seen any dog that would bay a bear that wouldn't stay with a rough hog. I'm not talking domestic hogs either just plain old dog killing, part Russian's in the thickest, steepest crap imaginable. Maybe I misunderstood what you were saying but we're completly opposite on this one.
