airdale

My granddaddy use to tell me stories about a fella he hunted with growin up he had a male bluetick name smoky and he was a coondog my papa said and he told me that the fella he hunted with bought 2 aerdales from way off somewhere and theyd be walkin through the woods and they would be lookin up and tree on a squirrels nest or anything black in the top of a tree. papa said he would walk in circles shinin his carbide light to make sure them aerdales wont behind him bout to bite him he said they were mean as snakes. lol aint tryin to steal yur thread just thought id share that story from when he was a kid.

buckskin

I dont think anyone intentionally breeds buckskins they just happen. They are just as much a part of the Plott breed as are brindles and maltese. I get maltese and buckskins out of mine. I have noticed that when the buckskins are absent for several generations the dogs tend to get more and more black. I think buckskin is necessary to keep the brindle particularly if you have a lot of black brindles. I dont breed for color though and only breed for performance. My theory has always breed the best to the best and let color go where it may. My favorite color ironically is very light brindle like Greyboy but I have never had one.

I like lighter brindle colored plotts, and even have a buckskin gyp which happens to be my lead bear dog. The solid black doesn't do much for me and that's just me. I won't cull a buckskin just cause of standards. Heck we can register them as x bred now.
