I don't hunt walkers but if I was going to switch I'd take a trip to see Mr.Abbott.

Posted by John Carroll on 09-09-2004 01:23 AM:

I may have posted this a while back, but I hunted with a Coma female a while back that was a dandy, my kind of hound.

She had a good mouth and was a track dog as well as being a good tree dog.

you need to do some research

this is per UKC

Of the six breeds of U.K.C. registered Coonhounds, only the Plott Hound doesn't trace its ancestry to the foxhound; and of all the breeds, we can be most certain of the Plott's heritage and the men most responsible for its development.

The ancestors of today's Plott were used for boar hunting in Germany many years ago. Jonathon Plott left his native Germany and came to this country in 1750. He brought a few wild boar hounds with him. These dogs had been bred for generations for their stamina and gameness. Plott and his family settled in the mountains of western North Carolina.

In those days there were no wild board in this country. Jonathon Plott used his dogs for hunting bears.

Plott supposedly kept his strain entirely pure, making no outcrosses. In 1780, the Plott pack passed into the hands of Henry Plott.

Shortly after that time a hunter living in Georgia who had been breeding his own outstanding strain of "leopard spotted bear dogs" heard of the fame of the Plott Hounds and came to North Carolina to see for himself. He was so impressed that he borrowed one of Plott's top stud dogs for a year to breed to his own bitches. This single cross is the only known instance of new blood being introduced into the Plott Hound since the first came to this country.

Other crosses possibly took place around the year 1900. G.P. Ferguson, who was a neighbor of the Plott family in North Carolina days, was a major influence on the Plott breed. He made a careful study of the Blevins hounds and the Cable hounds of that era. To what extent he used these bloodlines in his Plott breeding program, is not known.

The Plott Hound was first registered with United Kennel Club in 1946. Today's Plotts are know for their great courage and stamina. They have a clear voice that carries well.

Of the pups I've had, only one had enough of one line of blood to say she was out of a specific line and although she was a fine hound, I never liked her even though she made me alot of money. The rest didn't have the same dogs or line of dogs twice anywhere in there 3 generation pedigree. I have had my best luck with "best to best" crosses. Prolly Nailor x Pac Man blood would suit me best but my next one will be Wipeout or Buck Creek bred.

All I know is that in the late 80s there was a Plott with white on his chest that won the world hunt. I also was told directly by someone, who will remain unnamed, that for years whatever was good had been crossed into his families' Plott lines. He specifically mentioned Bluetick and Walker.

I have done the research and stand by what I posted.

You need to put blinders on and realize what really separates our so called hound breeds, is the color of their coats. I would think that often there are more genetic differences within two dogs of the same breed than two dogs of different breeds. Having said that, the Walker breed has had some outstanding breeders who really produced some good solid coonhounds.

Breeding for the modern night hunts has eroded the gene pool somewhat, or a lot depending upon your view of the matter, but if you know what strain of Walker you are getting, you stand a good chance of getting a solid hound.

LOL If you don't believe me, bring one of your Plott gyps to Kentucky for a poke by my Red Eagle Thor. He's not prejudiced against a gyp that is not tri-colored. LOL
