I was wondering what type of breed of hound you like to run on game!
Thank you and good hunting. A.J.

personally i like blueticks and plotts. i have seen some really good walkers but i dont have one.

for bears- redtick or plott
for hogs- cattahoula
for deer- running walker

Plotts all the way

plotts and walkers all the way

I have plotts and blue ticks and they work extremely well for me.

PLOTTS! everthing else is just a dog!!!

i have owned every hound but a leopard hound and all crosses in between. i,ve seen bears over all of them lol yes even a plott. jk. i have had my best luck with black and tans and english dogs or a black and tan bluetick cross.

The way you brindle boys talk them plotts up, I might just have to try me on a pair of them one of these days. I guess until then I'll just use what's in the yard. To me it's whatever suits your style of hunting. I only require that they crap twice as much as they eat.

whatever puts the meat in the freezer.

My best dog was a b&t she died at thirteen but saw a lot of lions in her life. A walker/ bluetick cross took her place he was killed in a dog fight. Now my best dog is a registered bluetick that was given to me by a kid getting out of hunting with hounds. It has been my experience that the best hound is the one that steps up and gets the job done LeRoy

I totally agree with killroy.

Definitely Leopard Hounds, they can get the job done

I didn't know there was any other kind of hound then a bluetick.lol!!!

Walkers... That being said - I don't like every Walker. Overall as a breed they tend to have everything I want, on a consistant bases.

Second favorite is a close tie between English and Leopard Curs (Hounds). I would own another nice one of either anyday. I just find it hard to consistantly find either of them in the "total package" like I can the Walkers. They are usually lacking something, whether it be speed, mouth, tree, grit, drive, or nose.

I haven't seen enough good dogs in any of the other breeds (Bluetick, Black&Tan, Redbone, Plott) to even consider them. I've owned a couple, and none of them made it. I just don't think there is enough consistancy in them. Crossbreeds have even less.
