EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

I need someone to send me to what seems to be the best line of hogdog plotts
Out there.. The silent the dogs the better. I am wanting to get a pup out of them!! Thanks

If you're already wanting to talk about the more silent the better, then why even mess with hounds?

You didn't see me say silent did you? I didn't ask anything about someone getting on here being a smart a$$ I am using this site to maybe locate some semi silent dogs if you don't know where any are please keep scrolling..

Boy,i dont think he is trying be a smart azz. I just think he was making a statement.and asking a question.but if i was wanting a silent are semi silent dog,i wouldnt be looking for a hound.there is a few folks on this site that has good plotts,they my can point u torwad a pup. Good luck

I just don't understand why someone wants to get on here and say you don't need to look for hounds.. All I said was the quieter the better.. I want something that will say quiet on cold track I know what a hound is and what they do and there are lines out there that are quieter than others so there is no reason I don't need to look for hounds.. Seems like every post somebody gets on the post and puts something unrelated to the question. If someone wants something out of normal traits of a breed doesn't mean it isn't out there.. It means get help and find it and that's all I'm asking for.. Sorry for offending anyone .. I'm done arguing!! Thanks in advance for any help!!

Heck if ya find one let me know

Will do

if you want registered full blooded then I can't help you...but quite a few parkers have the look somewhat like that of a plott and most are silent but excellent hog dogs...you might consider a cross of the 2 breeds if you can find a pup bred that way...

I'd like to find something to cross my curs with to give em some more range

Parker's would be a good deal for range and silent but if you road hunt I would not go with one

Why is that?

   that might work for you boy , but just some info from an old man . I run nothing but cur hound crosses and my cross dogs hunt just like my curs medium distance [ or close to some's standards ] and check up . it's not the breed that makes a dog range , it's the method they are worked and ALLOWED  to range . my full blood plotts are and were medium range dogs that checked up if in no hogs . now the cross dogs could and can handle a long distance race a whole lot better than the full curs . I have had a few full blooded Catahoula's that would flat get out and get gone . do to my hunting preferences they were moved on to people that hunted from mechanical machines . 

I know several plott guys on this site, I am one of them.  They are all good guys and none of them are going to come out and tell you that they have jam up plotts.  Even though they migth- they are modest and humble men.  Most of them also raise pups for themselves and thier firends and they dont usually offer them to the public.

If I were you, I would spend some time in the search button and see who is posting about what.  Get to know one of them by using PM or something.  Go hunt with htme several times and see what they have.  You may find that thier dogs are not your style.  No sense in just taking someones work and spending a lot of time raising a pup just to find out you have a babbler that barks every other step.

If you are really interested in finding a dog to cross, dont buy a pup; you wont know how they are until they age.  Go hunt with one of these men in the woods and bring a pocket full of cash.  You see a dog that impresses you- make the man an offer.  I honestly dont think you will get one of these older dogs for less than $2,500.

Just my opinion.

It is just my opinion but the Parker's I have seen hit the woods I'm not saying there is not Parker's that road hunt

What is a parker and where abouts could you start looking for any?

You shouldn't have to look to far texasoy, Cajun has plotts that have been bred for hogs and he catchs tons every year with them.  You'll probably have to stand in line though, he's not a puppy mill and his extras are in high demand for their reputation.  Get in touch with him and tell him what you want in a plott and he'll tell you if his line will suit you.

Good luck

If you are interested in them go to to parker cur dogs message board and talk to some of the just like any other dogs research who you are dealing with

Shane Morris in Arkansas has Parker's right from. Larry, they are good friends. He has a litter of pups now.

But as the above post cayjun is a great guy, I got pups from him and they are hog dogs.

Will Roberts in la has Parker's from Larry all my dogs are off wills yard and very pleased with them pm me for info

Research who you do business with, plenty of guys have had bad experiences with him including me and it takes one time with me to learn my lesson.

im not being a smart ass but what makes you think crossing them with a plott is going to make then more rangy than what they are, its as many cur dogs that are long range out there as it is hounds, and odds would be less barking if you crossed back with a cut dog.

Most of mine cold trail opening, & they all open on a jumped track.They are medium to long range dogs & not for everybody.

If you bred specifically for cold trailing dogs Mike, and bred some of the grit outta them, you'd get tired of seeing my face at your house  :D

haha Ben,Not all of mine are what I call gritty, I have a couple of females that bay good & will bite a hog if he trys to break. Really perfect for hog hunting but I have some males here that need to be hunted by theirself. One other dog with them & they will catch anything. They must all be able to trail tho. I have a female that I only run on bear, she is just to catchy on hogs & I dont want to lose her.

My kind of dog!

Anyone ever had any plotts come from Greg Noah from Ragland alabama. I was reading somewhere they had some crocket in them. I have a female that come from him and she took little to no training to get her started she's not gritty at all on a hog.

I have talk to him before, I have two females I got from a guy that got them from Gregg. They ate registered but not gritty. I thought that the Crockett blood was gritty. They are good dogs, but for Cajun blood is the only way to go. Mike has put a ton of work in his blood. I love and prefer a gritty dog. I am a friend and customer of mikes.
