Plotthounds, Not all Plotts are gritty, cold nose or long range. Like every other breed there are certain strains that will be cold nose, gritty and long range. It depends on how & where you hunt that determines what you need and the amount of game that you have. If you are loaded down with hogs you might not need a cold nose dog. The hard part is getting all those desirable traits in one dog.
I have seen cur dogs that could compare to any cold nose hound out there but they are few & far between.
Yes Cajun exactly. But as for a whole classification of breeds most cur dogs are not gone have the nose of your hounds. Your hounds are bred more consistently to have that trait. Most places I'm hunting your dogs need to be pretty coldnosed or really hard hunting 400-700 yardsto catch 100 or more a year.. these hogs are spread out and wise. I have places where cold nosed dogs are needed but year round I can catch em with my coldnosed dogs in hard places. Not just the easy places.
