tell me what they think of them.
I want one. I've been wanting a Crockett bred dog for a long time.They are an old line,don't really make em' any better but I've never heard of a bad one.Them are some stocky well built dogs,like my one gyp was.
The original plott breed began when a Virginia physician named Vaughn Plott began crossing other breeds to get the traits he most desired for bear hunting. Plotts are the grittiest of all of the hound breeds; they don't have the nose of a bluetick, or the speed of a walker, but they've got more endurance than all of them and as much fight as a bulldog! Thy make awesome bay dogs!
I have a 12 old gyp I'd bet 10,000.00 that she has a colder nose than any old shit eatin' bluetck any day of the week.I have another one now that's as fast as any July I've ever hunted.I do agree about being the grittiest and hard headed sob's but sometimes I also think they're smarter than most other hounds. Did you know that the buckskin plott is a throwback from crossing them with redbones way back. That's why they don't register them.The dogs brought from Germany were a solid black dog and crossed with spotted dogs to finally get their brindle color.
