I have tried all different hounds, some terriers and curs and the plott is the one that suits my style the most. They have great personalities and the traits I desire. They have coldest noses of any other dogs that I have hunted with, they are smart and this is a double edged sword as if you leave them penned up with too much time on thier hands they will get into trouble, but on the flip side they will work nasty cat tracks and have the game at the end of the trail. They have speed, and grit, and if when you match with the brains they can stop almost anything in its tracks. They have versatility and with that I can run my dogs on cat, bear and hog and they transition with relative ease, there have been a few occasions when I wanted to go hog hunting and have had the dogs chase cats and vice versa but either way it still is a sucessful day of huniting when this happends. I can not afford to have dogs for each individual species so having one that can do all is a great bonus. My suggestions would be: find a dog with a line of cat dogs for nose, a bear dog line for grit, and and a hog dog line for speed. I have blended these lines in my yard and I get awesome results, mostly because I prefer to send the pups to those who hunt more than one species with them because as they are individuals like humans you will see that some accelerate at one game over the other.
